Tax assessment notice is ready

The tax assessment notice from SKAT (the tax authorities) is now ready online in your personal tax folder. The figures in your tax assessment notice are based on your personal tax information and relate to the previous assessment year. Your tax assessment notice states your income, tax allowances, deductions and taxes paid the previous year. And in accordance with the information in your tax information, your tax assessment notice includes a calculation of your tax payments in the previous year, and will state if you have paid too much or too little. If you have paid too much tax, SKAT will credit any overpaid tax to your Nemkonto (Easy Account). For more information on this and other tax related topics, contact SKAT.

Help us get in contact with your landlord

New international colleagues are always arriving at Aarhus University and they all face the common and sometimes daunting problem of finding a place to call home. For this reason, if you are leaving and have enjoyed staying in your apartment, then we need your help to encourage your landlord to contact us. This, in order to try help fill the vacancy that you leave behind with another AU international colleague. Read more about this way to help a fellow international here or get your landlord to contact the International Housing Office via email or their website.
