Tax system

In Denmark, the society is structured as a welfare state where every resident is expected to contribute during their stay. For instance, healthcare is free for all learners in Denmark, Norway, and Germany, and it is financed through taxes. At bixter.training, we have ensured that all our students are registered with the tax office, so you don't have to worry about any paperwork.

Danish Tax system

For an explanation of the Danish Tax system

In Denmark, taxes are calculated on a private base for each individual. Meaning it's sometimes different from the same % tax that I pay as my coworkers pay. There are some deductions, and the % of tax will always depend on how much you earn before taxes.

In total, you, as a trainee, must pay these kinds of taxes:

Danish income tax includes municipal tax, health system contribution (sundhedsbidrag), AM-bidrag and state tax.

Arbejdmarkedsbidrag (AM-bidrag) – labour market contribution

In addition to municipal taxes, all employees in Denmark also pay a labour market contribution (AM-bidrag) of 8 %. This is a tax, which, among other things, covers in the event of unemployment and sickness benefits and expenditure for training and activation. The labour market contribution is deducted from your entire gross earnings. Income tax is then removed.

Municipal tax and sundhedsbidrag
Municipal tax makes up the most significant portion of the total income tax, 24 %(2019) for commuters living in Denmark.

State tax in Denmark
State tax increases in line with income. In 2020, the following applied:

Bottom tax: For amounts above the basic deduction of DKK 46.500, you pay 12.14 %in tax
Top tax: For amounts above DKK 531.000 (after AM-bidrag), you pay 15 % in tax

Managing your tax in TastSelv

In Denmark, Skattestyrelsen has a system called TastSelv. You can find more information on Skattestyrelsen's website. In TastSelv, you can change the information if your income changes during the year, among other things. You need a NemID or a TastSelv code to access your tax information. So that you know, the TastSelv code is only valid until the 1st of January 2020 and will then be removed as an option for logging in.

Working Conditions

In Denmark, a working week is 37 hours, accumulated into 160.2 hours a month. A working day lasts approximately 8 hours – excluding self-paid breaks. You earn the right to 5 weeks of vacation money per year. They can be used in two ways:

You can have a holiday and travel but still get paid, even though you don’t work. This must be arranged with the host family in advance.
The other way is to get the money transferred to your bank account each month. You earn 2,08 days of vacation every month when working full time, where there is money attached to these days. You have to apply for this online yourself from the government.

Life in Denmark

When you arrive in Denmark, the host family will meet you at the airport, drive you to the house/apartment, and help you accommodate. The accommodation price is 200-250€ per month.

Cell phone

When you are coming to Denmark for a more extended period, it is always a good idea to get a Danish number – of course, if the operator from your country is not offering something better. The cheapest option is the Lebara operator.
• 49dkk = 4GB 4G data + 4 hours in Denmark + to 50 countries
• 99dkk = 100GB 4G data + 100 hours in Denmark + 50 countries
• 149dkk = 200GB 4G data + 200 hours in Denmark + 50 countries

Transportation

Buses and trains are the best options if you want to travel around in your free time. You can see the schedules and prices on www.dsb.dk. You can also look at the possibilities of discount cards for buses and trains here: https://www.rejsekort.dk/.

Shopping

The five discount supermarkets you want to look for are Netto, Fakta, Aldi, Lidl and Rema 1000. Netto and Fakta are Danish, Rema1000 is Norwegian, and the rest are German. Nevertheless, those five supermarkets are the best choice for daily shopping as well as for their special offers (always look for a sign Tilbud – discount). Every week you can find different special offers in each shop.
