Income tax in Denmark

Hi.

I did not understand one little bit of what you just wrote, and I am Danish:D!!

Let me try and explain the tax to you in a simple way, it is really not that difficult when you are paying the tax because tax is deducted from your pay before it is paid into your account. It is your employers responsibility and headache. 

The first +/- 40.000Kr you earn a year is tax free(except for the 8%). That is split out on the 12 months of the year, so your salary is the same every month. Earning above that amount and you will start to pay tax. Normal income tax is about 38% to about 60%. Most people in regular jobs pay the 38%, nurses, teachers, gardeners, police officers, clerks, waiters, you get my flow. I do not know exactly how much you can earn before paying a higher tax%.       
There are some things you can deduct from your tax, like if you travel very fare to go to work, or other work related expenses like a phone you use for work etc.

There is no such thing as getting your tax money back..  

Good luck with everything, and don't worry too much about the tax thing.

Hi,

Fredericia is my home town I hope you are going to enjoy it there.

The minimum tax % is 38% But with your earnings you might have to pay a higher %

Maybe you should contact the company and have them answer the question as they should know the exact figures.

@SARAH,

Thanks for the info and your time, wat about the accomodation? can I find on studio appartment easily and on how much rent per month?/

Snaremosevej is in Fredericias only Suburb of Erritsø, it is not fare away so you can still easily live en Fredericia and drive/cycle/take the bus to work.

Try looking at www.lejebolig.dk and www.boligportal.dk ans search for what is available in Fredericia and Erritsø. There is not so many studio apartments around, but you should be able to get a small flat for about 4000 dk per month, + utilities on the side.
