Danish Social Security
Our tax guide for freelance contractors working in Denmark
Employees pay social security contributions of 8% of their gross salary. The contribution is withheld by the employer. A pension contribution of 1% is normally payable but has been suspended for 2008. An extra pension contribution of DKK 81.30 per month is payable by an employee working full-time and receiving monthly remuneration. These contributions are tax deductible. Employers do not pay social security contributions except minor amounts for certain insurances.
