This sounds like a nice system.

Does it also tell you of its own volition if the tax office owes you money instead on a return without you having to declare anything? For example, if the tax office knows where you work as an employee and where you live, and the tax code has provisions that stipulate that an employee gains a tax advantage of 0.xx€ per kilometre commuting distance between his home and his place of work, does it factor that in or doesn't it? Because that would actually be _nice_.

In the U.K. if you’ve overpaid in a given year (usually only a few pounds) you get the option to either roll it over to the next year, or a direct bank transfer to the account you give.

I’ve had payments pretty much instant (maybe next day) of repayments that are 4 figures, and ones that are just a few pennies.

In Denmark, so not the same as who you reply to.

Yes, if you pay too much in tax and their calculations reveal that, then, yes, you get money back on your bank account.

They don’t calculate commute deductibles for you, but mortgages, pension is something which is calculated for you based upon reports from the respective institutes.
