The new income limit which is underway will be introduced from 2026, but only for expats who arrive after that date.

Last question, I own a few properties and Shareholder in a business. Am I liable for tax in both Countries. South Africa and Denmark

Your questions call for professional advice as it is a complicated issue which depends on some choices of yours. Do you prefer to be taxated of the pension scheme now or later, and what will you do with the Fritvalgskonto. Will your wife also get a job, or?


South Africa and Denmark have e double taxation agreement, but still, there will be some practical things about the statement of the foreign income.


In short, you need help from a skilled tax expert who can tell you which choices will be the best for you as these are individual and depend on how long you'll stay here, what your future plans are, etc.  Maybe, such help is already part of your expat package, but otherwise I would urgently ask for it. You'll have some time after arrival to make your choice.


I think you can benefit from reading these guides:
