randahl OP , 25 days ago @EvilCartyen @xerge Carsten is right. In fact we are both right. Carsten's number is the direct income tax rate (what your employer pays to the tax authorities). My number includes the indirect taxes you pay after you have received your income — like VAT, car taxes, levies on energy, etc. I wrote 50 percent from memory, but the actual number from the Ministry of Finance is 51.8 percent, and it is described here: https://cepos.dk/abcepos-artikler/0246-en-almindelig-dansker-betaler-ca-50-pct-af-sin-loen-i-skatter-og-afgifter/
