The 2025 tax return is ready. Did you remember to claim all your deductions?
The 2025 annual statement is now available, and it’s a good idea to review it carefully.
Although much of the information is already reported automatically, there are still a number of deductions and details that you need to be aware of yourself.
The deadline for correcting the annual tax return is May 20, 2026.
If you don't have your annual tax return reviewed, you risk either overpaying in taxes or receiving a tax bill later.
Deductions you should pay special attention to
Some deductions are recorded automatically, while others require you to enter the information yourself.
Here are some of the deductions that many people overlook:
Mileage deduction (transportation deduction)
If your daily commute between home and work is more than 24 km, you may be eligible for a tax deduction. The deduction applies regardless of your mode of transportation, even if you bike or use public transportation.
Service deduction
You can claim a tax deduction for certain household services, such as cleaning, gardening, and window cleaning.
Craftsman deduction
You may be eligible for a tax deduction for labor costs associated with certain home improvement services, such as energy-efficiency upgrades and installations in your home.
Trade union and unemployment insurance fund
Union dues and unemployment insurance contributions are typically tax-deductible and are often reported automatically, but it’s worth checking to make sure the information is correct.
Work-related expenses
For example, professional literature, courses, work clothes, and travel expenses may be tax-deductible in some cases.
Stocks, cryptocurrency, and other income
You are responsible for ensuring that gains or losses on investments, as well as income from sources such as rentals or the sharing economy, are reported correctly.
That's why you should check your annual statement
Although the Danish Tax Agency receives a lot of information automatically, there are still deductions that won’t be recorded unless you report them yourself, such as the mileage deduction and certain services.
A review can therefore result in a tax refund, help you avoid back taxes, and ensure that your information is accurate.
