Apparently if you decide to leave Denmark after 7 years as a tax resident, you may need to pay an exit tax, '<i>fraflytterskat</i>' in Danish.
I was surprised to hear about this. Have you heard of an exit tax, and is it something to also keep in mind for relocation?<p>> <i>Exit taxation applies for individuals who have been considered as resident and tax treaty resident in Denmark, who are leaving Denmark with assets, including but not limited to shares, options, bonds, certain pension plans, certain property investments, etc.</i><p>> <i>The rules apply to both Danish and foreign assets, shares, investment funds, financial contracts, deposit accounts, etc.</i><p>> <i>If comprised by the exit tax rules, the assets, etc. comprised will be considered as realised on the date of departure, and the individual will be liable to pay the Danish tax due on this unrealised gain.</i>
