    Annual tax statement for 2024 will open on March 24

    ·

    On March 24, 2025, the Danish Tax Authority will open the 2024 annual tax statement, providing millions of citizens with a detailed overview of their tax payments. For the first time, homeowners will be able to see the total payment of property taxes as part of the statement, which will be accessible to around 4.9 million citizens through the government’s digital portal, TastSelv.

    While most citizens will receive a familiar statement, nearly 2.1 million homeowners will see a new addition: their complete property tax payment for the year.

    The Danish Tax Authority is working to ensure the system is ready for the March opening, but as always, they warn of potential adjustments to ensure the best experience for taxpayers. “This is a comprehensive update with many new details to be incorporated at once, and we are committed to providing a smooth process for all users,” says Ulrick Junge, deputy director of the Danish Tax Authority.

    Additionally, citizens will be able to update their information, including adding deductions for services like cleaning or childcare, provided these services were paid for by February 28, 2025. The service deduction for 2024 is up to DKK 11,900 per person.

    The deadline for making corrections is May 1, 2025, with some exceptions for specific cases. First tax refunds will be paid starting April 25, 2025.
