0 of 5 steps complete · Next: Request the departure tax review
Request the departure tax review
Next stepSKAT asks you to contact it one week after deregistration from Folkeregister and physical departure so it can decide liability. Prepare housing, income and destination facts beforehand.
Retain a refund destination
SKAT pays refunds through NemKonto; a non-Danish account can be registered. Arrange this before closing the account currently used for refunds.
Keep deferred share-tax reporting alive
If a postponed share-tax balance remains, SKAT requires annual securities reporting by 1 July. Dividends, sales and certain company loans can affect payments. Assign responsibility after your move and retain the original departure portfolio.
Obtain provider-specific pension instructions
Practical preparation: request pension payment options, beneficiary details, India servicing restrictions and all proposed withdrawal charges in writing. Compare retaining benefits with any withdrawal before instructing the provider.
Build the India handover file
Practical preparation: supply your Indian adviser with the Danish residence decision, departure valuations, subsequent income and tax paid. Review Indian account designation and foreign-asset reporting using the shared India guide.

Model the decision with your own figures
Prepare the dates, currencies, costs and amounts you know. Keep tax eligibility, provider access and uncertain assumptions on your adviser’s question list. The calculators show those assumptions explicitly.
For a return to India, add education, parents’ support, healthcare, partner income and locked funds to the household timeline. Bring supporting-tool figures into it only after reviewing timing, currency and overlap.
