Tax Rules for Investors in Denmark

Tax Overview

Denmark taxes capital gains at 27% on the first DKK 61,000 and 42% above that threshold. Denmark uses a mark-to-market (lagerprincippet) system for many investment types — unrealised gains are taxed annually.

Tax Authority

The primary tax authority in Denmark is the Skattestyrelsen (Danish Tax Agency). Investors should consult official guidance for reporting requirements and deadlines applicable to capital gains and dividend income.

Anti-Avoidance Rules

Under mark-to-market taxation, the concept of wash sales is less relevant since all gains and losses are recognised annually regardless of realisation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Aktiesparekonto?
The Aktiesparekonto (stock savings account) is a Danish tax-advantaged account for equity investments. Gains are taxed at a flat 17%, significantly lower than the standard 27%/42% rates. Annual contribution limits apply.
How does mark-to-market taxation work?
Under mark-to-market (lagerprincippet), you pay tax on the change in value of your investments each year, even if you haven't sold them. This applies to bonds, investment funds, and ETFs on SKAT's positive list.
