Holiday pay: You can get the wrong amount

Hundreds of thousands of danes can look forward to a little extra to snolde for when the three weeks of the frozen holiday pay will be paid.

But it is far from certain that you get the right amount paid out. It writes Jyllands-Posten.

the Newspaper has seen the draft bill, currently being rushed through Parliament, and here there is talk about a bureaucratic nightmare.

- There is expected to be paid out too much in some situations and too little in other situations, writes the ministry of Employment, adding, that it will happen in 'a large number of cases'.

the Cause of the problem is that employers have not yet reported exactly how many holiday pay as the individual employee is to the good.

For October, employees get paid three of the five weeks of frozen holiday pay, and from you ask for it, it takes up to two weeks, for the money comes.

the Money is taxed as normal income, which is to say, you may have to pay tax of them, if one's income is in the safe-conduct.

- It is voluntary, whether you want them paid now, but it is my expectation that the frozen holiday pay will get the danes to spend more money for the benefit of the economy, says minister for employment Peter Hummelgaard (S) in a press release.

The bourgeois parties and Was key organization, FH, prefer a flat tax of 38 percent. They fear that many will opt out to get the money paid, if it does, they reach the border and must pay the highest tax.

The concern rejects the red block, however, and since The Radical follows the government after a period of hesitation, it becomes a progressive tax.

the Payment is done digitally on the citizen.dk, where you log on with NemID and asking for money. After some days you get a letter stating how much money you get paid and when.

- We have been aware of, to make it easy and simple to get the money paid out. Therefore, one can get the money by going into the citizen.dk, and it will be up to two weeks from the time you put the check mark, have the money in his account, says Peter Hummelgaard.
