How do I check if I’ve been deducted for all my pension contributions?
You can do this by checking your tax assessment notice from the Danish Tax Agency.
If you've contributed more than the limit of DKK 63,100 to an annuity certain scheme, it’ll be indicated in your annual tax assessment notice under the heading: "Please note".
In your tax assessment notice, you can check that your contributions have been reported correctly. You can see your pension contributions under these boxes/numbers:
- Box 347: ”Contributions to company old-age pension, group life assurance deducted from your salary”
- Box 24: "Contributions and premiums to personal life pension schemes"
- Box 21: ”Contributions and premiums to personal annuity pension schemes and temporary old-age pension schemes”
You can see which information Velliv has reported by logging in with MitID, selecting the 'Tax' tab, 'Reporting', year and clicking 'Calculate'.
Do you have a pension scheme through your employer?
If you have your pension scheme through your employer, with contributions made via your salary, you won't be able to see the contributions on your annual tax assessment notice.
Instead, you can see what has been contributed to your pension on your payslips, as the amount is deducted from your salary before tax is calculated. On www.tastselv.skat.dk under ‘Tax information’ (in Danish only), you can also see what your employer has contributed to your pension scheme under ‘Arbejdsgiveradministrerede Pensionsordninger’ (Employer-administered pension schemes).
