Instalment payment plan

You can propose an instalment payment plan as soon as you have received a letter from us stating that we must collect your debt to public authorities.

After a specific assessment, we decide whether you can get an instalment payment plan.

We will decide this after a specific assessment, if you apply for it.

Please note the 30-day deadline

If you have received a letter stating that we will withhold some of your income to pay your debt, you have 30 days to comment on this – this is also the case if you want to apply for an instalment plan, to avoid some of your income being withheld.

If we decide to withhold some of your income, you will not be able to get an instalment plan.

That is not certain.

If you have combined income (for example, A-income and B-income or state education grant (SU)/social assistance benefits), you may have to pay a higher instalment amount under an instalment plan.

• With an instalment plan, you pay a fixed amount regardless of changes in your income. The amount is fixed until the debt covered by the instalment plan has been paid off.
• When income is withheld, you pay a percentage of your income. The amount you have to pay is adjusted to any changes in your income along the way. Read more about withholding of income.

We calculate the amount based on your income or a budget you have sent us.

Amount based on your income

We calculate the amount you have to pay as a percentage of your annual income, while taking into account any children you need to support. We calculate your annual income after tax, labour market contributions etc.

You can see how we calculate the amount on the page Examples of instalment amounts.

The repayment rate used for the calculation can be found at Regulering af satser i gældsinddrivelsesbekendtgørelsen (Adjustment of rates in the Executive Order on Debt Collection) at skat.dk.

Amount based on your budget

Are you in doubt about whether we know all your income and expenses? This may have a bearing on how much you need to pay on your debt. If you send us your household budget, we will base our calculations on it.

If you do not pay your instalments on time, you will be in default on your instalment payment plan. This means that it no longer applies. We will then collect your debt in some other way, for example by deducting your debt from your income.

Perhaps, but not necessarily. For various reasons, you may have debt that is not covered by your instalment payment plan. Get an overall overview of your debt by calling or writing to us via Contact.

Yes, the size of the instalments is calculated on the basis of your income and takes into account any children you need to support.
