Aarhus University has entered into an agreement with the accounting firm Deloitte to provide tax advice to staff recruited from abroad and to staff posted abroad.
Under the agreement, managers can offer tax advice from Deloitte at a fixed price in connection with onboarding of international staff as well as posting staff abroad.
Under the agreement, the following tax advice packages are available:
Deloitte can also advise HR departments with regard to employer obligations in countries other than Denmark (typically international social security). The HR departments will pay a specified amount for that service.
Examples of how different job categories are typically taxed have been added to the AU HR webpages. You’ll find them under Taxation of researchers
Payment is settled directly with Deloitte.
In connection with the recruitment of international staff, Aarhus University (as employer) can pay for the introduction to the Danish tax system and the personal advisory sessions that the package contains. We can also pay for the packages for our staff in connection with postings abroad.
However, staff must pay for help with preparing tax returns and preliminary income assessments themselves. This also applies if staff would like more tax advice than what is included in the standard packages.
When Deloitte advises AU on our obligations as an employer (such as social security), this at the university’s expense.
We ask that you inform relevant hiring managers of this offer.
Remember that the head of department/school must approve any expenses related to tax advice.
Either HR or the staff member who needs advice can contact Deloitte.
They should fill out this form and send it to Kathe Kristensen at Deloitte (kathek@deloitte.dk)
Contact the Employment Law team if you have any questions.
