We may set off your debt
If you are owed money from public authorities, for example if you have paid too much tax, we may use the amount to make payment on your debt to public authorities. This is called offsetting.

Frequently asked questions about offsetting
How we set off amounts against payments from public authorities
We make set-offs in the following order:
- Debt that is collected by the public authority from which you are owed money, for example the Tax Agency
- Debt for collection with the Debt Collection Agency
- Debt for collection which is registered with the Debt Collection Agency.
You can read more about the rules on offsetting in section A.D.13.2 Modregning (Offsetting) of our Danish-language legal guide, which you can find at www.skat.dk/juridiskvejledning.
