Danish Tax Authorities resume all claims for refunds of dividend withholding tax

The processing of all dividend withholding tax reclaims has been suspended by the Danish Tax Authorities (SKAT) since August 2015 following suspected fraud by foreign claimants in the years 2012-2015. SKAT has now announced that repayment and processing of dividend withholding tax reclaims are resumed from March 17, after more than six months of suspension.

A Tax Alert prepared by Ernst & Young Denmark, and attached below, provides additional details.
