Employee shares and eKapital reporting

Employee shares are an attractive bonus model that gives staff a stake in the company. Under Section 7 P of the Danish Tax Assessment Act, businesses can offer shares or share options to employees, often at a favourable rate. This enhances motivation and fosters a strong corporate culture.

Why you should choose Azets to handle the reporting to eKapital in Denmark

Employee shares are a valuable form of bonus that give employees a stake in the company they work for. Through Section 7 P of the Danish Tax Assessment Act, companies can offer shares or stock options to their employees, often at a favourable price. They can be a powerful motivator and help create a strong company culture, in which employees feel they are a part of the company’s success.
An employee share scheme can be of great benefit to both the company and its employees. For the company, it can increase employee loyalty and motivation, while giving employees the opportunity to invest in the business and potentially gain financially.
 

To understand the full value of employee share schemes, it is important to be familiar with Section 7 P of the Danish Tax Assessment Act. This section forms the foundation for the taxation of employee shares in Denmark, and is crucial for how stock options and purchase options are treated for tax purposes.
In short, Section 7 P allows employees to be taxed on the gain only when their shares are sold, not when options are granted or exercised. To obtain these tax benefits, certain criteria must be met, including a general scheme for employees.
Employee shares may also have been granted under older schemes under Sections 16 and 28.

When implementing an employee share scheme, it is important that you set up a process for timely and correct reporting to eKapital – the Danish Tax Agency’s electronic system for reporting employee shares, contributions to unemployment insurance funds and trade unions, etc.
In addition to administrative burdens and financial penalties, inadequate reporting can result in your employees being taxed incorrectly, which can lead to frustration and distrust of the employee share scheme.
Many companies find it a major and challenging task to navigate the complex rules for reporting employee shares to eKapital. It requires an understanding of tax laws and accurate data management to ensure everything is reported correctly.
