Our Task

We ensure that individuals and businesses pay their taxes and duties correctly and on time.

The Danish Tax Agency (Skattestyrelsen) is responsible for ensuring that individuals and businesses pay their taxes and duties correctly and on time. We solve this task by making it easy and secure to pay, target fraud and by thorough control mechanisms integrated in all parts of our work.

We play a crucial role in society, and we are humble to our huge responsibility as an authority. Taxpayers should be met by a tax administration that is fair, reliable and safeguarded for the future.

Our work is based on efficient processes and secure systems. We are dedicated to creating solutions where relevant data is automatically reported. This makes it easy for individuals and businesses to get an overview of and handle their tax affairs.

Our decisions should be correct and well-founded. Professional experience and highly specialised employees and managers are therefore core to our work. We are an active and responsive player in society and follow developments closely. Having a broad domestic and international outlook is a condition for living up to our responsibilities as an authority in a modern and professional way.

We take responsibility and we work together – for our common goal and in making day-to-day decisions. Together with the other agencies under the Ministry of Taxation, we ensure fair and effective financing of the public sector.
