Paying A-tax and labour market contributions (am-bidrag)

When you have reported pay, you have to pay the A-tax and labour market contributions you withheld. Here, you can read more about how to pay depending on how you do your reporting.

You can always see your payments under ‘Skattekontoen’ (Your tax account) in E-tax for businesses (TastSelv Erhverv). It may take 2-3 working days after the reporting deadline before the amounts appear in your tax account.

Extended payment deadlines for A-tax and labour market contributions in July and August 2023

The Danish parliament (Folketinget) has voted to extend the payment deadlines for A-tax and labour market contribution (AM-bidrag) in July and August. Increased energy taxes and the resulting cash flow strain have caused the new deadlines. 

Please note that the reporting deadline hasn’t been extended.

Read more about the new deadlines under A-tax and labour market contribution deadlines at Payments and Deadlines.
