Tax residency outside Denmark?

A small number of our customers are subject to the tax rules of other countries. All banks are required by different laws and international agreements to collect information about their customers’ tax affiliation. We have to ask all customers to find out which tax rules they are subject to.

If you or your undertaking have tax residency in a country outside Denmark, we are required to collect and report certain information about you or your undertaking to the Danish tax authorities, SKAT, which will report it to the local authorities of the relevant country or countries where you have a tax connection.

By collecting this information from all our customers, we contribute to creating a safe and healthy society and prevent tax evasion and other types of financial crime.

We do not provide advice in tax matters or help you establish your tax residency. If you have any questions concerning how to establish your tax residency, we recommend that you consult a tax adviser or SKAT.
