- mjul 7y agoIt is called “fraflytteraktieavanceskat”. It is a capital gains tax for equities that can be paid at once as if you had sold the shares, or you can delay it by filling out a form every year to the Danish tax authorities after moving abroad.
- radres 7y agoCapital gains tax is not the same as exit tax though?
- anovikov 7y agoWell capital gains tax is pretty much normal, it exists in most places. As for exit tax in the U.S., i really wonder how one could enforce it. So if you left the country and have another passport (otherwise you couldn't drop U.S. citizenship), what can they possibly do to you? I don't think this absurd leftist idea even deserves much attention or comments, someone just said bs without thinking of it much.

- flexie 7y agoIn popular terms "havelågebeskatning", formally the tax authorities actually refer to it as the "exitskat" (exit tax): https://skat.dk/skat.aspx?oid=2176214 https://skat.dk/skat.aspx?oid=2176214
