Statute overview

About this statute

This provision says seafarer wage income is generally taxed under the normal tax rules, but the law creates special exemptions, deductions, and conditions for certain work aboard ships. Section 10 sets conditions for refund and tax-free net wage rules for certain shipping employers and specifies how sea transport is counted. Told- og skatteforvaltningen kan godkende en arbejdsgiver, hvis betingelserne er opfyldt, herunder at godkendelsen ikke er tilbagekaldt og at arbejdsgiveren er berettiget til refusion efter den angivne regel. Employers must meet the conditions and assume the obligations of a comparable employer based in Denmark; the tax authority can revoke approval if those conditions are no longer met. If an act is carried out with intent to unlawfully obtain reimbursement, the penalty may be imprisonment for up to 1 year and 6 months, unless a higher penalty applies under the Criminal Code.
