Property abroad
Foreign property: what to report to the Danish Tax Agency
Purchase, value, interest and rent: your overseas home may affect Danish tax.
Updated
A foreign address does not remove reporting duties
If you are fully liable and tax resident in Denmark, you generally need to report foreign property and pay Danish property value tax. Special rules and treaties can affect the outcome.
Buying in 2026
Register the purchase on the 2026 preliminary assessment. Have the address, takeover date, ownership share and purchase price in Danish kroner ready. The purchase price is initially used; market value must be recalculated for the annual assessment for the purchase year.
Values and foreign taxes
Keep property and wealth values, foreign property tax receipts, loans, interest and rental income up to date. For 2025 and 2026, property value tax uses the market value as of 1 January 2024. Use the official guidance and calculator.
Some foreign property taxes qualify for relief; this does not automatically include all charges, such as land taxes or registration duties. Retain documents showing the local names of the taxes.
