We hope you enjoyed your stay in Denmark!
Before you leave you have to complete form no. 04.029. SKAT will then determine if you are liable to pay tax in Denmark. Please notify SKAT of your new address so they can send documents related to your tax.

When you are no longer registered or working for a Danish employer, you can have your holiday money paid out.
FerieKonto will automatically pay out your holiday money if you have a NemKonto (easy account) or if you have registered a Danish bank account number with FerieKonto.
You can also choose to have your holiday money transferred to a foreign account - then you need to write a letter to Feriekonto. Read more about which information to include here.

Before leaving Denmark, you must deregister your vehicle in the Danish Register of Motor Vehicles. If you have paid registration tax, you can apply for a refund.
Upon your departure, you have to hand over your license plates to SKAT, and you must notify one of the four Central Motor Registry Offices (“Motorcentre”) in Denmark. Your notice must include a copy of the vehicle’s original registration certificate (Part I and Part II) and registration form 21.044.
Please note that the authorities may demand a vehicle inspection of the car.
