Skatteangivelse

Skatteangivelse, often translated as tax return or tax declaration, is a formal statement submitted to the tax authorities outlining an individual's or entity's income, expenses, and other relevant financial information for a specific tax year. This document serves as the basis for calculating the amount of tax owed or to be refunded.

In many countries, taxpayers are required by law to file a skatteangivelse annually. The specific forms and requirements vary significantly depending on the jurisdiction, but generally include details about wages, salaries, self-employment income, investments, deductions, and credits. The information provided on the skatteangivelse is used by the tax authority to verify the accuracy of taxes withheld and to ensure compliance with tax laws.

Failure to file a skatteangivelse on time, or providing inaccurate information, can result in penalties, fines, or even legal action. Taxpayers may choose to complete their skatteangivelse themselves or engage the services of a tax professional, such as an accountant or tax advisor, to assist them. The process is designed to ensure that all individuals and entities contribute their fair share to public revenue.
