Cross-border commuters

You are a cross-border commuter (also known as a frontier worker) if you live in another EU/EEA country and work in Denmark.
There are several definitions, so please note that the term “cross-border commuter” may mean something different in another context, for example with respect to tax law.
Most cross-border commuters in Denmark are from Sweden, Germany and Poland.
More information on being a cross-border commuter from Sweden is available at the website of the Danish-Swedish information center, Oresunddirekt.
Info for cross-border commuters from Germany is available at a website by the Danish-German border region Sønderjylland–Schleswig and at a joint website, Eures Kompas, by Jobcenter Aabenraa and Agentur für Arbeit in Flensburg.

After being employed in Denmark you must contact your local tax centre, the Danish Tax and Customs Administration/SKAT, in the municipality in which your workplace is domiciled in order to get a tax number. Your personal tax number works like a civil registration number, i.e. it is your Danish personal identification number.
