DT5977 - DT: Denmark: double taxation agreement, SI 1980 No 1960, Article 28: Miscellaneous rules

1. Where under any provision of this Convention income is relieved from Danish tax and, under the law in force in the United Kingdom, an individual, in respect of the said income is subject to tax by reference to the amount thereof which is remitted to or received in the United Kingdom and not by reference to the full amount thereof, then the relief to be allowed under this Convention in Denmark shall apply only to so much of the income as is taxed in the United Kingdom.

Basically saying you will only pay tax on the amount you would have paid in the UK anymore you will get back. And here are the countries this covers,

EEA, Reciprocal Agreement or a Double Contributions Convention countries

The countries in the European Economic Area are: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Republic of Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK.

that is referring to how you will be taxed in Denmark under the double taxation agreements.

fengirl has given totally correct information (as you would expect), and the information you are giving is wrong.

as fengirl said, either you have given wrong information to HMRC or they have made a mistake reading your form.

my husband has some income from Norway on which he has paid some Norwegian tax. he entered this correctly on his SA, but HMRC had not used all the pages submitted and wanted to give him a refund, having noted the tax paid but not included the income received.

we knew this was wrong, and immediately phoned them, they could easily have discovered it eventually anyway. so instead of a £1500 refund he had a £7500 tax bill, but at least he knows it is correct.

it is however disappointing that HMRC can make such basic errors, and that time is not taken to check SAs where the income is "unusual". no much wonder the rest of us have to pay so much tax!!
