Paying your business debt
We will then provide you with the information you need to pay your debt.
Payment from outside Denmark
You can pay from abroad by bank transfer using the following information:
- BIC/SWIFT code: DABADKKK
- IBAN no.: DK6102164069170749
- Bank: Danske Bank, Statens Betalinger, Bernstorffsgade 40, 1577 Copenhagen V, DK
- Account holder: CVR: 19552101, The Tax Administration, the National Debt Collection Agency, Braendgaardvej 10, 7400 Herning, DK
Remember to state the payee (Civil registration (CPR) number/CVR number) and the debt item that the payment concerns.
Interests
You should be aware that interest runs on the debt. Read more on the Interest page.
Which debt will be paid first?
When you repay your debt, the individual components will be repaid in a particular order:
- Fines
- Private law maintenance payments
- Maintenance paid in advance
- Other debt in the order in which it was submitted for collection, starting with the oldest debt. Interest is repaid before the principal.
If you disagree
If you disagree that the company owes the debt, for example because you have already paid the debt in full or in part, or have other comments about the existence or size of the debt, you can call us on +45 70 15 73 04. If you want to write to us, see how on our contact page.
If you have already paid the debt, please attach documentation showing that payment has been made, for example in the form of a printout from your bank.
Please see our legal guide (in Danish) at skat.dk for further legal information.
We use the payment when the business’ debt has been settled
If we know that we can collect the debt, as a rule we will use your payment in the course of a few days.
If the business has unresolved debt, which is debt for which we suspect there might be errors in the registered information, or which may be barred by limitation, we will have to investigate this more closely before we can use your payment.
If we need to investigate whether the debt is barred by limitation, as a general rule this will take up to 30 days from our receipt of your payment. If we suspect errors in the registered information, the investigation may take several months.
As a general rule, we must use a payment within 12 months of our receipt of the money.
Contact us if your business has unresolved debt to the public sector that, for example, prevents you from being able to get a bank loan.
