KPMG is an independent advisory firm specializing in tax advisory services.
Who can use the agreement?
Newly hired international employees who will work in Denmark can contact KPMG for tax advisory services once their employment is confirmed. The expense must be approved by the department head, and an agreement for tax advisory services must therefore go through the department.
What services does KPMG offer in connection with tax advisory services?
The tax assistance includes employment-related tax matters.
Tax meeting:
The tax meeting is held online.
During the meeting, the employee's tax situation will be discussed, and information about the researcher tax scheme and its conditions will be provided.
Tax card:
In connection with entry into Denmark, we recommend preparing a preliminary assessment to ensure correct tax withholding. This involves preparing the tax card with the tax authorities. This is usually not relevant if the employee can choose the special researcher tax scheme.
Specially for Villum International Postdoc (VIP, recipients of the Villum Foundation family package)
VIPs have the opportunity to receive tax advisory services in connection with their departure regarding an assessment of their tax situation. The tax advisory services only cover the researcher and not any accompanying spouse/partner.
The tax advisory services are intended to help researchers make it easier to budget for their stay abroad, for example, to assess the length of the stay, what is feasible in terms of bringing family, etc.
The assessment can include taxation of any remaining residence in Denmark, taxation of expenses covered by the family package, and possible tax advisory services regarding taxation in the destination country for the departure. If necessary, a briefing with the host country can be arranged to adjust taxes in both countries with the employee.
For a standard briefing, the fee is usually the same in the home country and the host country. An agreement on this must be made at the first tax meeting with KPMG, and the agreement must be approved by the department head.
