Statute overview

About this statute

This provision consolidates the seafarers’ tax rules and defines when ship-based wage income gets tax relief or exemption. Rederier kan få refusion for certain work on eligible vessels if conditions are met; affected employers must also keep separate accounts, and the tax authority must approve or may revoke approval for certain foreign-based employers. The tax authority approves an employer if the stated conditions are met, and the approval must not be withdrawn. Arbejdsgiveren skal opfylde de krav og forpligtelser, der gælder for en tilsvarende arbejdsgiver i Danmark. Myndigheden kan verificere dokumentation, godkendelsen kan tilbagekaldes, og urigtige eller vildledende oplysninger kan straffes med bøde. If an act is done with intent to unlawfully obtain reimbursement, the punishment can be imprisonment for up to 1 year and 6 months, unless a higher penalty applies under the Criminal Code.
