Short guides on what a company actually runs into: incorporation, accounting, VAT, invoices, payroll and subcontractors. The rules are Danish; the guides are in English.
SubcontractorsFreelancer or employee? How to avoid getting an 'employee' by mistakeIf you use the same self-employed person every week, the Tax Agency may consider them an employee. Here is what decides it.
SubcontractorsSell the job, let someone else do it: how to keep track of subcontractorsOne customer, one invoice, one payment, and a partner who needs their share. Here is how it fits together without the money getting mixed up.
PayrollPaying yourself: the difference between an owner who withdraws and an owner who is paid a salaryIn a sole trader business you 'withdraw'. In an ApS you are employed by your own company. That changes tax, pension and what the bank sees.
PayrollYour first employee: what must be in place before the first payslipEmployment contract, insurance, tax card, ATP and holiday pay: the list is short, but everything on it is required by law.
VAT & taxThe preliminary tax assessment: the one thing the self-employed always forgetIf you pay B-tax, the preliminary assessment decides what you pay each month. If you don't set it, the Tax Agency does it for you, and guesses wrong.
