Where to get tax assistance
Aarhus University cannot give personal advice on taxation issues. The International Academic Staff services at International Centre will be able to assist you in finding general information about tax rules. If you need tax assistance you can contact the Danish tax authorities. If you need more specific tax guidance you can contact the PriceWaterhouseCoopers firm of auditors, but only following approval from your immediate superior.
Taxation assistance from the Danish tax authorities
The taxation rules are changing over time and it is therefore the Danish Customs and Tax Administration that can give you up to date information on your taxation.
the Danish Customs and Tax Administration consists of a main centre and a number of local tax centres all over Denmark. There is one tax authority which handles all matters concerning tax, labour market contributions, real property valuations, VAT, duties etc. You can contact the Danish Customs and Tax Administration in the following ways:
- Find information at www.skat.dk. Here you will also find Self-Key Citizen (TastSelv Borger), where you can change your preliminary income assessment and see your tax information in your tax folder.
- Call the Danish Customs and Tax Administration on +45 72 22 18 18.
- Email or call the Danish Customs and Tax Administration via Contact the Danish Customs and Tax Administration
- You can also contact your municipal citizen service centre with questions concerning your tax as well as how to change your preliminary income assessment.
If you wish personal assistance at the tax centre
You need to set up an appointment in advance to receive personal assistance at a tax centre.
If you cannot find the answer you need at skat.dk, and if they cannot help you over the phone, the Danish Customs and Tax Administration will set up a personal appointment for you with one of their staff. You will be able to get an appointment within five working days.
You may go to any tax centre that you wish. See the tax centres closest to you on www.skat.dk - under Contact

Taxation advice from PwC
For specific assessment of individual cases Aarhus University has entered into an agreement with PwC on assistance with tax-related employment issues. Furthermore, Aarhus University has made an agreement with PwC for tax assistance in connection with in- and expatriation of employees.
Your department may choose to pay for PwC's services rendered
If you wish to have the expenses covered by your department, you need to get acceptance in writing by the head of department/school/centre director. In accordance with the agreement between the university and PwC, each department/school/centre must pay individually for PwC's services rendered. After you have the acceptance in writing, you may contact PwC yourself.
You may choose to pay the expenses yourself
It is also possible to contact PwC without approval from your superior, but in that case you will have to pay for the service yourself.
