Tax card is essential for ensuring that you pay the correct amount of tax on your income during your internship. Without a tax card in Denmark, you could face significantly higher tax rates, making it important to understand the process early on.
A tax card is a document issued by the Danish Tax Authority (SKAT) that your employer uses to calculate how much tax should be deducted from your salary. The card contains important information such as your tax rate and personal allowance. As an intern, your employer will use this tax card to ensure that the correct amount is withheld from your earnings.
