How to pay payroll tax
Payroll tax can be paid via Netbank (online banking), Nets (PBS) or from a non-Danish account. Read about the payment methods and see the rules for due payment.
Payment methods
Netbank
Use the payment line, stated on the receipt for your declaration. You can also find the payment line under ‘Stamoplysninger’ (Master data) in your tax account at E-tax for businesses.
The tax account provides you with a general overview of your business’s declarations, demands for payment as well as ingoing and outgoing payments to and from us.
Nets (PBS)
If you want to pay using Nets direct debit service (PBS), you can sign up in E-tax for businesses.

Your payment is made in due time if:
You pay via Netbank (online banking), and the amount is debited to your account no later than on the date of expiry of the payment deadline. Payment must have been made according to the bank’s general terms and conditions for transfers. Please note that banks have different times for when a same-day transfer can be made.
You pay by giro transfer no later than on the date of expiry of the payment deadline.
You pay via Nets LeverandørService (Supplier Service) and have approved the drawing of the payment in E-tax for businesses no later than at 16:00 on the banking day before the expiry of the payment deadline.
You pay by requesting your bank to transfer the amount, and the amount is transferred from your account to the Tax Agency’s account no later than on the date of expiry of the payment deadline.
We also recommend that you do not pay earlier than five business days before the last due date of payment; otherwise, your payment will be returned to you.
