Filing your tax return, in English
The arsopgorelse
Denmark largely pre-fills your tax. Each March, SKAT produces your arsopgorelse (annual statement) from data reported by employers, banks and others. You log in to TastSelv on skat.dk with MitID to check it, correct anything, and add deductions the system does not know about (like commuter deductions).
Doing it in English
The TastSelv self-service portal offers an English interface, look for the language toggle after logging in. Not every sub-page is fully translated, but the main flow is navigable in English. SKAT also has English-language guides and a phone line for internationals.
Deadlines and refunds
The statement is usually available in March; if you need to make corrections the deadline is typically 1 May. Overpaid tax is refunded to your NemKonto, underpaid tax must be settled. If your affairs are simple and pre-filled, you may not need to do anything. See the annual tax return guide for detail.
