Ordering a tax card for a business
The service consists of changing the tax card according to your instructions. Above all, we base it on your projected earnings from employment and business activity.
Skattekort – when should it be changed?
In general, there is no obligation to change the card assigned by the authorities. However, you should bear in mind that we will pay advance tax that does not match our earnings if the card is incorrect. This means two possible scenarios:
- The card is underestimated – the tax instalments are lower than the tax due based on annual earnings – then we will have to pay the difference when filing the annual tax return, but we will receive more net pay from the employer
- The card is overestimated – the tax instalments are higher than the tax due based on annual earnings – then we will receive a refund when filing the annual tax return, but we will receive less net pay from the employer
General rule:
Regardless of the amount of the instalments or the chosen tax card – we all pay identical taxes. If you earn the same as another person, you will ultimately pay the same taxes in the annual settlement, regardless of the instalments.
