Frequently Asked Questions

How often do Danish businesses file VAT?
It depends on turnover: under DKK 5 million half-yearly (1 March and 1 September), DKK 5–50 million quarterly (1 March, 1 June, 1 September, 1 December) and above DKK 50 million monthly (around the 25th of the following month, with the June period due 17 August).
When do employers pay A-tax and AM contribution?
Small and medium-sized employers report and pay by the 10th of the following month (around 17 January for December). Large employers pay by the last banking day of the same month.
Do individuals file a tax return in Denmark?
Most do not: Skattestyrelsen prepares the årsopgørelse (tax assessment notice) automatically. You only need to correct it if something is missing — the deadline was 20 May in 2026 (normally 1 May). Self-employed people and those with foreign income file an information return by 1 July.
When is the corporation tax return due?
Normally six months after the end of the financial year — 30 June for a calendar-year company. On-account tax is paid on 20 March and 20 November.
How often is VAT filed in Denmark?
This calendar shows a monthly VAT filing — 18 of them across the 2026–2027 calendar. Filing frequency depends on the turnover band and the scheme a business is registered under, so a smaller business may report less often than the monthly cycle listed here. Confirm your own frequency with Skattestyrelsen.
When is the corporate income tax return due in Denmark?
Jun 30, 2026 — Corporation tax return (oplysningsskema for selskaber) — income year 2025 and Jun 30, 2027 — Corporation tax return (oplysningsskema for selskaber) — income year 2026. Denmark's tax year in this calendar runs January 1 to December 31, so a company on a non-calendar financial year will have different dates. Skattestyrelsen publishes the authoritative schedule.
When is the personal income tax return due in Denmark?
May 20, 2026 (Deadline to correct the 2025 tax assessment notice (årsopgørelse)), Jul 1, 2026 (Self-employed and foreign-income tax return (oplysningsskema) for 2025), May 3, 2027 (Deadline to correct the 2026 tax assessment notice (årsopgørelse)) and Jul 1, 2027 (Self-employed and foreign-income tax return (oplysningsskema) for 2026).

How often are payroll and social security contributions paid in Denmark?
The calendar lists 12 payroll & social security deadlines for the 2026–2027 period — a monthly cycle. Employer obligations depend on headcount and payroll size.
What does this Denmark tax calendar cover?
98 filing and payment deadlines for 2026–2027, grouped by month: vat, ec sales list, payroll & social security, personal income tax, prepayments and corporate tax. Each entry names the form where one applies and flags public holidays that fall near a deadline. The authority behind these dates is Skattestyrelsen.
Is this calendar official Skattestyrelsen guidance?
No. It is a plain-English summary built to help you plan, and it is not tax advice. Dates can change, and your own obligations depend on your registration, turnover and scheme. Always confirm against Skattestyrelsen before you rely on a date, and speak to a qualified adviser about your own situation.
Do EU-wide VAT rules change these Denmark dates?
The EU VAT Directive sets a common framework, but each member state keeps its own filing calendar, thresholds and rates — which is why Denmark has its own page here rather than a shared EU one. If you sell across borders, the One-Stop Shop lets you declare VAT centrally instead of registering in each country.

Before you file or pay

How to verify a Denmark tax deadline

1. Match the obligation. Check the tax type, period, registration and filing method. A VAT, payroll or income-tax date may not apply to every taxpayer.
2. Check the live notice. Public holidays, agent arrangements, extensions and account-specific instructions can change the operational due date.
3. Keep proof. Save the submission receipt and payment confirmation. Filing and paying can be separate actions with separate cut-off times.

Why this matters: missed dates can lead to late filing charges, interest, loss of a relief or an avoidable compliance review. This page is a planning aid, not a legal determination. It was last content-reviewed on 2026-10-09; verify the live rule with Skattestyrelsen before acting.
