If your daily round trip to work is over 24 km (over 12 km each way), you can deduct DKK 3.17/km (km 25–120) and DKK 1.59/km (above 120 km) of the round trip for each day you commute; DKK 3.51/km for every km over 24 if you live in an outlying municipality (yderkommune) or on certain small islands. The 2026 rates were raised retroactively.
