Check purpose of email
Read carefully what the purpose of the email is. We only write to you to give you information and options.
We would never ask for:
- your personal data
- your bank account or payment card details
- an amount to be stated
If in doubt, never click on a link in an email. Delete suspicious looking emails.
Be careful of your card details
Do not state your payment card details in an email.
If you entered your card details by mistake, we recommend that you contact your bank. You should also check that no money is withdrawn from your account without your approval.
The Danish Tax Agency automatically repays any overpaid tax to your NemKonto and you do not have to state your payment card details to get the refund.
