THE DANISH TAX AGENCY ALREADY KNOWS A LOT ABOUT YOUR INCOME AND DEDUCTIONS. SO THE ANNUAL TAX RETURN IS OFTEN A CHECK, NOT A SEASONAL PANIC ATTACK.
Employers, pension providers and other institutions report much of the relevant information automatically. You still need to check the annual assessment and update anything missing or wrong. The system is not magic. It is administration designed to use information that already exists.
The point is not that taxes are fun
Taxes are still taxes. The point is that filling in the same information five times is a pointless ritual, not a civic virtue.
