TAKS distinguishes automatically withheld A-income from B-income, including self-employment and income from a non-Faroese employer. B-income requires a preliminary income estimate and instalments. The published limited-liability description uses a stay of at most 180 days without a permanent address; a stay beyond 180 days in twelve months brings full liability. Do not decide treaty residence or an earlier permanent-address case from that threshold alone. TAKS taxation overview.
Let I be the established annual national-tax base in DKK:
| Base interval | Tax formula |
|---|---|
| 0–65,000 | 0 |
| Over 65,000–180,000 | 13% × (I − 65,000) |
| Over 180,000–330,000 | 14,950 + 15% × (I − 180,000) |
| Over 330,000–450,000 | 37,450 + 20% × (I − 330,000) |

Use the exact 2026 municipality row; the first DKK 30,000 is exempt from municipal tax. Church tax applies to church members and requires the locality footnotes, not just the municipality headline. For Tórshavnar, the municipal rate is 19%; the church footnote specifies 0.85% for Tórshavn/Ternuryggur and 0.90% for Argir/Borðan/Nólsoy. Child credits have separate eligibility. 2026 municipal table and footnotes.
Assume a full-year resident, non-church-member adult in Tórshavnar, no child credit, and a reviewer-established DKK 300,000 base for both taxes, after relevant base adjustments:
This is not take-home pay: pensions and statutory contributions are separate. At national thresholds, the adjacent formulas must agree: 180,000 → 14,950; 330,000 → 37,450; 450,000 → 61,450; 600,000 → 98,950. Test these before applying the method.
Check a pre-completed statement and correct errors. Ordinary individuals/self-employed filers use the 1 May deadline; companies use 1 July. Self-employed accounts and applicable property statements accompany the return. Record any separately granted extension. TAKS tax-return guidance.
Open scope: detailed base deductions, child-credit eligibility, foreign-tax credits, tax caps, capital-income rules and each special worker category. Do not claim a complete personal-tax calculation from the ordinary table alone.
General tax and accounting reference material only. These drafts have not been professionally attested. A qualified professional in the relevant jurisdiction must check the facts, current law, elections and deadlines before anyone files, pays or acts on an output.
