Paying the appeal fee

The Danish tax Appeals Agency will contact you, when you should pay the appeal fee of DKK 1,100.

The Tax Appeals Agency will send the appeal to the Danish Motor Vehicle Agency (Motorstyrelsen) for our opinion. We may reopen the case if we find that the valuation of the vehicle is incorrectly assessed. If you agree with our new valuation, the appeal will be abandoned. If this is the case, you will not have to pay the fee of DKK 1,100.

If you do not agree with our decision, we will send our opinion to the Tax Appeals Agency, which is the secretariat for both the Motor Vehicle Board and the National Tax Tribunal (Landsskatteretten).
