Self employed

For tax purposes, you are considered self-employed if you operate a business in your personal capacity and at your own risk. This may be structured as a sole proprietorship, a partnership (I/S), or a limited partnership (K/S). It may also be that you are in the process of establishing a business and have not yet decided on a legal form.

At PrivatRevision, we are specialists in self-employed taxation. We have particular expertise in the Danish Business Tax Scheme (Virksomhedsordningen or Virksomhedsskatteordningen) – both when it is advantageous and when an alternative structure is preferable. We can advise on distinctions between personal business income under the Business Taxation Scheme, transitioning to fee-based income, handling personal trades, or whether it would be beneficial to place parts of your activity in a private limited company (ApS) or another structure. Our aim is always to ensure that your setup is both tax-efficient and practical for your everyday life.

Peace of mind in relation to your taxes as self-employed

We recognise that the finances of the self-employed – both personal and business – are inseparably connected, and accordingly so are their tax affairs. Our goal is to ensure you gain the maximum benefit from your work while also having peace of mind knowing that your tax structure is both efficient and compliant with applicable law. This means that your affairs will be reviewed by qualified tax advisers, and that we actively assess your structure at least once per year. While this proactive approach may not always align with the lowest-cost option, we firmly believe that investing a little more to get the right solution ultimately provides significant value.

We advise a wide range of self-employed professionals with a particular focus on knowledge-based activities – for example, consultants, professionals, practitioners, liberal professions and doctors/dentists.

We work extensively with the self-employed whose business activities are wholly or partly VAT-exempt, or where services are provided cross-border into or out of Denmark.

Additionally, we have extensive experience working with self-employed professionals in real estate—whether in construction, renovation, rentals, or buying and selling.

We work in-depth with regulations concerning property gains, business taxation, and, of course, optimisation to achieve the lowest possible tax liability for our clients.

Whether you are self-employed full-time or running a part-time business alongside salaried employment, we can guide you through the tax landscape – helping you get the most out of your efforts.
