Getting a job abroad

If you still pay tax in Denmark, your pension scheme can continue unchanged. If you pay tax abroad, you must decide what should happen with your pension scheme while you are abroad. Contact us for advisory services.

Liable to taxation in Denmark

There are no changes to your pension scheme if you remain liable to pay tax in Denmark. You or your employer can continue paying contributions to your pension scheme like before.

Not liable to taxation in Denmark

Before you travel abroad, we recommend that you:

acquaint yourself with the tax rules in the country where you will be working
contact us to discuss which scheme that suits you best while you are abroad.

You have 2 options:

You can discontinue the contribution payments, but maintain your insuance covers while you are abroad. We will deduct the costs for maintaining the insurance covers from your savings.

When you become liable to pay tax in Danmark again, you or your employer can pay the contributions that you have not paid while abroad to your pension savings.
Your can set up a pension scheme for your time abroad. It resembles the one that you have, except from the fact that you do not benefit from a tax relief on the contribution payments. On the contrary, the pension benefits are tax-free when you retire.

Returning home

When you return home, you must contact us so we can find out how your pension scheme should continue and give advisory services on the tax-related options you have related to your pension scheme in P+.

If you have been exempted from paying pension return tax while abroad, you must remember to inform the Danish Customs and Tax Administration and P+ about that you are liable to pay tax in Denmark again.
