As partially covered you have to report the information regarding your employees via the self-service method, e.g., how many employees you have and how much they work. If you are not sure whether your company is fully or partially covered, please contact Barsel.dk. You can see here how much to pay to Barsel.dk, when to pay and how the contribution is calculated.

Reporting

Here you can see your options for reporting to Barsel.dk.

Reporting via a payroll service agency

If you employ a payroll service agency, they can potentially do the reporting on your behalf. You must agree this directly with the agency.

Reporting via self-service

If you report via the self-service solution at Barsel.dk, you must submit reports for one quarter at a time.

Go to self-service

Remember to report a zero sum

You must report via self-service even if you do not have to pay contributions to Barsel.dk, e.g., in case you have not had any employees throughout a quarter. This is called zero-sum reporting. This way, Barsel.dk will know to not collect a contribution from you for that quarter.

Trainees below the age of 25

If you have trainees below the age of 25, they are covered by Barsel.dk even though you are not paying contributions for them. You do, however, have to submit a zero-sum report for them via self-service.

You must also remember to register your trainees with the Employer’s Reimbursement System (AUB) to be exempt from paying contributions for them to Barsel.dk.

Payment

You pay via a payment line in your online bank. You will receive a payment request each quarter with a payment line from Barsel.dk.

Late payment

If you pay later than the due date, you may have to pay interest on the outstanding amount.

Deadlines for reporting and payment

Here, you can see the quarterly deadlines for reporting and payment. If you report later than the deadline, the contribution will be charged in the next quarter.

Quarter	Deadline - reporting	Due date	Deadline - payment
Q1	17 April	1 February	7 February
