What are the taxes for consultants in Denmark?
This of course depends on the overall financial situation of the individual (loans, extra income, etc). However, a general benchmark for income tax for high earners (which doctors are) is approximately 50%. Although this may seem extremely high, one must keep in mind that Denmark is a well developed welfare state and that all schools, hospitals services, etc are for free. There are private alternatives, but the public system is commonly used and has a good reputation. Therefore, when judging the seemingly high tax levels, they should be viewed in light of how many services are included.
