When you work in Denmark for a Danish employer you automatically earn the right to holiday pay. The holiday pay that you earn during the calendar year can be paid out to you when you take holidays the following year.
If you were not able to receive your holiday money because you left Denmark permanently before the beginning of the holiday year the National Fund for Holiday Pay (FerieKonto) will manage your holiday pay. However, we can assist you and apply for the holiday money refund on your behalf.
If the FerieKonto manages your holiday pay, they will issue you a letter after the end of your employment which will tell you:
You can claim your holiday money refund since May of the year following your year of employment. .
If you are claiming a holiday refund for a previous year, you can apply now. Download the Holiday pay pack today or register online.
?When is the Danish Holiday Year?
The Holiday year in Denmark runs from 1st May after the year of employment to 30th April of the following year.

The whole process is quick and easy. The agents are fantastic to deal with and really helpful. I have been using Taxback.com for years now and have no intention to ever change. The level of customer services and communication is brilliant. I am always kept up to date as soon as information is available.

The personal communications from your agents made all the difference in my choice to use TaxBack. Overwhelmed with what should have been a simple process due to an error going back several years in my taxes, I gave up doing them myself and handed it over to TaxBack. I was assured all 3 years would be fixed and my refunds recieved. Once I handed over my paperwork I never had to ask about updates or remind my agent to do anything - they were so on top of it and made it so easy! Matthew Lloyd was especially helpful and I can't thank him enough for his continued clear communications and patient explanations which saved me so much time!

My tax manager Steven has been really very efficient since when I have been using Taxback. He has made it easy for me to make a smooth transition from being a Non-resident for tax filing (Sprintax) to Resident for tax filing (Taxback). The communications related to every document has been patiently explained to me no matter how many details I needed to know. You are doing a fantastic job Steven!
Cheers to the Taxback Team! Thank you :)
