It would be my dream to live in a perfect country.

9 years in Denmark 8 years working danish 2 module can I play?

sorry, I have a question about a completely different topic - regarding mortgages: Do you think it will be worth making extra mortgage payments? Someone told me that it might not be worth doing so in Denmark because you do not get a tax advantage. What's your view? I own an "ejerbolig" and a fixed-rate mortgage.

If you use Revolut for ETFS, they do not send any informatio to tax authories so you can avoid taxes

Mario how did you learn english ? Im mexican american and my spanish isnt the best. I am teaching my daughter spanish and i feel embarraseed to speak spanish outside my home. this is because of how spanish speakers sometimes judge our spanish 😔 kids from hispanics born in usa. how do i over come that fear.

Hell there I don't understand the move you made on the principle of your loan, I think some explanations would be more than welcome for the noob I am : )

The exit tax applies on top of the taxes applied every year on unrealised gains?

Does the allowance reach the father if he don't sign the child birth certificate or if the father is living in another country?

Hello,can one parent sign for the new born baby certificate, if the other parent is far or living in another country? My girlfriend just gave birth, she's a African but a Denmark citizen, I live in Germany?

I still wonder how one can see so many big range rovers in certain areas (nord sjealand fancy places…) I can’t even imagine how much these cars cost… I am under the special tax scheme and I never felt so poor…

Amazing content, thanks for all the tips

5-6 vacation weeks in DK are not "free" - 12,5% of any Danes's pay is "held back" - meaning that we pay for our own vacation .... 1/8 of our pay is paid out only when we we have our vacation .... It does not, financially, impact our enterprises at all ....

Muchas gracias por los consejos. Llevo un año y medio y voy a tomar los consejos porque siento que están súper útiles.

Mul on kogu see kolme keele rääkimine ees kui esimene laps sünnib ja väga huvitav on teie teekonda kuulata! Tublid olete et nii hästi keeled on selgeks saadud! 😊

The video is incomplete, it would have been greatly informative, specially to foreigners, to talk about the 53A pension scheme in alternative to the regular work pension scheme. The 53A demands you to pay 40% or whatever tax bracket you are in a monthly basis, even by not having the money (it goes directly to the investment funds as the regular pension). If not declared to skat the year before, get ready for paying it during tax return calculations. This pension allows people to cash it out 100% of the value at once and without paying any further tax even in the case one loses the job, and before retirement age. Staying or leaving Denmark it doesnt matter. This pension is highly recommended to expats who do not want to retire in Denmark. In the regular pension scheme, you will only get paid back after retirement age (without never paying taxes on it) and throughout a minimum of 10 years, even if you have few on the account by just having worked in Denmark a few years. Even if you move out the country, you most likely will not be entitle to exceptions and will need to wait age or pay the 60% penalty. Any worker can always change back and forth between regular and 53A scheme, no fee for that as far as I know, talk with your work pension company (mine is PFA). To me, the 53A is a type of security in case losing a job, for instance. It is also a way to provide a great new start if I need to leave Denmark and start new on another. The investment funds are the same regardless of pension type, and you can chose your own risk for the investment (A to E, from high to low). If you plan to or already are in Denmark for a long time and approaching retirement age, it totally worth to be/move to the regular pension since you dont pay taxes on it. As I am opened to work in Denmark for as long as I can, my choice is the 53A pension for the first 10-15y and switch to the regular pension later on... Hope that hlps a few!

Is it difficult to adjust if you only know english, or while seeking a job?

Hey Mario, moving pension accounts between countries, even within EU, is not possible. Unfortunatelly.

Thanks Mario, still complicated though 😁

du glemmer at fortælle at man også har atp , samt hvis man bor til leje får en stor del af huslejen betalt , samt andre ting som fp

Hey mario, if you have investments in another country moving to denmark, do you still need to pay taxes from those investments?

Mario, you forgot to mention about ATP Livslang Pension. It based on the number of hours you work, for full time job you contribute 99 dkk every month, which is 1/3, and your employer contributes around 200kr.

Bro huge thanks to your channel. I feel like I have a "how to survive in Denmark" starter pack when I open your channel. Keep it up.

I would ask you not to make more of this kind of videos about Denmark when you clearly stat you can not live in the country site of Denmark cuz as you put it. "Its boring" Then you dont know anything about Denmark in the sense of living here but have only got your view from the city site you allready known from the start. Btw im not telling you im asking you.

Thanks for video. 2 questions: 1. Taxation of payouts in retirement is only happening on the principal, not on gains anymore, isn’t it? Otherwise isn’t it a double taxation? I.e would they tax you 42% on unrealized gains and then another 40% on a payout? 2. What about early retirement? If I happen to have 20million kroner in my pension account, do I have to wait/work until 67? I have no chance of enjoying those millions when I am over 70 but if I retire at 60, then perhaps I have some life in me still 😂

For some of the examples shown, theres is also being transfered some money (before taxes) to pensions. To be fair, when comparing payslip A vs. B, you will have to add this amount - or at least mention it - whan talking about how much many the person will have "in hand". People not having some of their salery transfered to pensions will either have to somehow finance this them selfs, eg. by investments etc, or having nothing except the "folkepension etc" when the leave their worklife.

what are the chances of getting scammed when renting a place in copenhagen??

One thing I suggest for any expat is to be under pensions scheme 53A, which allows payment of pension when leaving the country without the 60% penalty. The downside is that you pay taxes to the pension contribution each month and that no deductions apply to this plan (still miles beneficial vs. potentially given away 60% to the Danish state)

Hi Mario, for the unrealized taxes on investment gains I believe you pay directly to SKAT, meaning you don't need to add more money to the pension or sell (you can't sell) to pay for it. That's only applicable to the ASK account.

What happening to having your winter break abroad when you have school kids ? Can they take holidays during school year ?

Qué bueno que descubrí tu canal y que hablo inglés, ya no quedaban youtubers en Dinamarca que no haya visto 😂

About live in small towns... I wonder how people from Novo Nordisk live in that small town Kalungborg... I guess many educated slaves from South Asia...

I don't see a problem with the alcohol (danish dude)

Thanks you 🙏

☝️👏✊😉😁

Does CBS offers ACCA course ?

another top tip: buy second hand in charity shops.. start there, and se if the have what you need.

top tip: find a job in the country side, and live close to the job. most places need all kinds of skilled labour. and we have cheap housing and lower cost of living.

Really helpful thanks! 👍🏻

Noooo how is it possible that you pay even if you dont sell?

Mario, where you from?

Investing in Denmark: just invest in yourself. It’s fax free 😅

Right in time for me :D Moving from Belgium to Denmark soon. Belgium has even higher (the highest in the world actually) income tax than denmark.. and lower salaries. This is offset by negligible investment taxes (no capital gains, dividends 0% below 980eur/y and 30% above that) But that's useless if you're a fresh graduate with little savings and only beneficial to those already wealthy. denmarks system makes more sense to me. Lower (still high) income tax, offset by higher investment taxes

You are not considering that Denmark could change the tax law and introduce taxation on those capital gains. The world is changing.

Just turned 18 in America. Have been disgusted by the corruption of the government, and corporations here for 2-3 years now. Homeless people are used as a threat to the working class to not step out of line, or be fired and join skid row. Any medical visit that isn't insured or doesn't get insured because of weirdly complex insurance coverage loopholes (that work against the consumer) will put you basically into indentured servitude. Colleges are corrupt the whole way through, from thecollegeboard that scams you in high school, to the loan sharks that grip any student foolish enough to make a deal with them because getting a scholarship is like the lottery, to the expensive school supplies, expensive tuition, and expensive housing. I've also been obsessed with how car centric infrastructure destroy pedestrian life, creates ugly environments, and leads to more pedestrian deaths. There's no social safety net in America, the processed food is the most accessible food but and also happens to be made of poison, depressed people get prescribed antidepressants that remove their sadness but don't let them improve their life, and sad people that aren't depressed get prescribed antidepressants that remove their sadness and make their life worse through addiction. The only political sides you can side with are shifting towards either making unregulated corporate heaven labor colony where you work to live, live to work, and die like a dog if you aren't a perfectly-abled model patriot citizen; or a mildly more left leaning party that, compared to most European countries, might as well be centrist. It doesn't matter what side you choose though, as corporate lobbyists end up being the main decider of who gets to be voted in to office, so we end up with 2 really shit choices every time, that always end up coming down to a 51-49 split, so it just gets handed off to the electoral college who ends up deciding on a 49-51 split. except on rare occasion when a gem slips through, and the public and electoral ideals line up. propaganda is rampant, nationalism is everywhere, public education ranges from "mediocre / kinda good" to "laughably bad" entirely depending on what state you live in, and then in college you get the actual education experience for the first time in your life and even then most of the studying you do is at home anyway. So, to me, the nordic countries (specifically denmark) and also New Zealand sounds like a dream. I had a teacher in high school who lived in New Zealand for 20 years, (which, according to some people on the internet, the nordic countries and new zealand are pretty similar) and according to that teacher, when you walked down the street in New Zealand, it was common to see people *smiling*. Just walking around, and SMILING. Happy to be alive. No celebrations, nothing special, just another day being alive, and being human. I've never seen someone smiling while walking around in America. Anyways, it seems to me like the Denmark / New Zealand would be perfect to me. I'm fine with the taxes too, I've never been one for extravagant and expensive things, and now I can be the same way but also not constantly live in fear of debt driving me to homelessness / poverty. What do you think? is there anything in those countries I wouldn't like?

I've never heard of jointly writing a thesis with another student -- maybe that's a educational/cultural norm/phenomenon in Denmark/Scandinavia

But Peter pays High property tax and if House Price increase only little bit, he gets problem .

I can verify what Mario is saying.... this is not a rusian scam
