I'm in the process of applying for a contract in Denmark. I will be in Denmark around 80% of my time so am aware I can't use my UK limited. The agency has told me that I must use a payroll company from their approved approved list of supppliers. I've spoken to a couple of these companies one of which told me that the only compliant way is for me to go through a payroll company, but that I should be eligible for the Danish highly skilled expat flat tax scheme. The other told me that the best way to do it is to work as a freelancer via them, although what they seem to do is set you up with a Danish accountant. Both are quoting me similar figures of around 400 Euros per month which seems expensive to someone who is used to UK accountancy fees, but perhaps it's the norm out there, and both (surprisingly) are quoting me almost identical retention figures of around 80%. I've had a very bad experience with a payroll company going bankrupt on me before, so I'm a bit worried about using one again, but equally I don't know how compliant this freelancing model is in Denmark.
I have a few questions, any help or advice greatly appreciated.
My questions are:
1) has anyone contractred in Denmark, if so which model did they use and what was the retention.
2) are the fees I've been quoted normal?
3) Are you able to recommend any payroll companies/Danish accountants, I'm wondering whether I might be better off just going direct to a Danish accountant myself.
