📋 Tender Overview
In a new report the Tax Law Council focuses on the third group in the labor market. The report comes with a number of suggestions on how the tax rules can be changed to make tax easier for the group.They are not employees in the traditional sense nor are they self-employed. They are the third group in the labor market which includes for example fee recipients and start-up companies.A new report from the Tax Law Council shows that the third group in the labor market comprises approximately 300000 people how they are taxed and what challenges are associated with it.I would like to acknowledge the Tax Law Councils report which contains many relevant considerations and concrete proposals for how the tax system can be arranged more appropriately for the third group in the labor market. Because we must also acknowledge that we have some challenges with this area says Minister of Taxation Jeppe Bruus. In January 2020 the Danish Tax Agency received permission to obtain control information from four platform-based services that offer services in the form of for example cleaning of private homes delivery of goods or other transport services.Individuals who provide a service on work platforms are often responsible for reporting tax VAT and AM contributions. It can present challenges in relation to tax payment and increase the risk of error. The Danish Tax Agencys inspections showed that the providers in 95 per cent. of the cases had given incorrect information. Unfortunately we can see that people in the third group have great difficulty in complying with the tax rules. The Tax Law Council points out that we need more and better guidance from the group. I would therefore ask the Danish Tax Agency to take initiatives for strengthened guidance which is targeted at the third group in the labor market says Jeppe Bruus. The government will now consider the proposals and discuss them with relevant stakeholders.
