Tax reductions planned to advantage around 3.3 million Danish residents starting from January
Tax Cuts for 3.3 Million Danes
It's about to get a bit easier on the wallet for 3.3 million Danish taxpayers. The new person tax reform, effective January 2025, is set to bump up savings for various groups – with single parents and single providers seen as significant beneficiaries.
Here's a quick rundown of what's new in the person tax reform, aiming to help public finances balance out amid rising prices and inflation.
Revised Employment Deduction
The employment deduction gets a nice boost in 2025, with an increase from 10.65% to 12.30% of the wage. This hike means a higher amount of income can now be earned tax-free. The deduction will then escalate to 12.75% in 2026.
Max Deduction Limit Hike
The maximum employment deduction limit has been raised from 45,100 kroner in 2024 to 55,600 kroner in 2025. This means a higher income can qualify for the maximum deduction, benefiting more taxpayers.
Enhanced Deduction for Single Providers
Single providers stand to save more in taxes, thanks to the increased percentage for the employment deduction. This advantage grows even more substantial with rising inflation and supermarket prices.
Criticism and Analysis
The reform has drawn criticism from opposition parties like the Socialist People's Party (SF) and Red Green Alliance, who argue the benefits seem disproportionately distributed, with families with higher incomes getting the same savings as those with lower salaries.
However, Tax Minister Rasmus Stoklund defends the balance in the reform, stating it caters to finding a solution with broad support, shapeshifting if the Social Democratic party had a parliamentary majority.
Impact on Single Parents and Single Providers
While the exact impact remains to be seen, it is anticipated that single parents and single providers will experience tangible savings, with single providers potentially netting more amid inflation and rising supermarket prices.
Staying Ahead
The tax reform aims to provide welcome relief as finances get stretched. Whether you're a single parent, a single provider, or just looking out for your household budget, it's worth understanding how these changes might help you get by.
