What is A-skat (withheld income tax)?

In short

A-skat is the income tax an employer withholds from employees' salaries and pays to the Tax Agency together with AM-bidrag.

In practice

If your company has employees (even just you), it must register as an employer and report salaries to eIndkomst monthly — payroll systems like Danløn and Salary handle that.
