According to our tax treaties, foreign students are not taxed in Denmark on income for personal work performed in Denmark, when the income is necessary for the subsistence of the students.

For the income year 2010 the Danish tax authorities have fixed the amount necessary for the subsistence of a student to DKK 71,000. This amount can thus be earned by foreign students without taxation in Denmark.

You can contact local tax authorities in Denmark concerning this matter. You will find addresses and telephone numbers on www.skat.dk
