Beskattet

Beskattet is a term used in Danish and Norwegian to describe something that is subject to tax or has been taxed. It is the past participle of the verb beskatte in these languages, meaning to levy taxes or to tax. The adjective is common in tax law, official forms, and everyday language to indicate tax liability or tax status.

In practice, beskattet is used to describe income, wealth, or transactions that are taxed. Typical phrases include beskattet inntekt (taxed income) and beskattet formue (taxable or taxed wealth) in Norwegian, and beskattet indkomst or beskattet formue in Danish contexts. The term often appears in notices from tax authorities, financial statements, and legal provisions. It is generally contrasted with skattefri (tax-free) or with skattepliktig (taxable in the sense of being liable to tax), depending on the jurisdiction and wording.

The form carries a neutral, descriptive tone and does not itself indicate the amount of tax owed. It denotes status — that tax applies to the item or income — rather than the calculation or payment process. Because Danish and Norwegian tax terminology share roots, beskattet is widely understood in both contexts, though exact usage and common collocations can vary by language and official standard.
