The Tax Agency has published this guide for those moving to Greenland.
If you are moving to Greenland, it is recommended to:
-
Register your move with the municipality. On Sullissivik.gl, you’ll also find a checklist for other things to consider when moving, beyond tax matters. Access the description via this link.
-
Submit a preliminary tax form for newcomers to the Tax Agency at tax@nanoq.gl. The form for newcomers can be found here..
-
If you are a seasonal worker (less than six months, e.g., in tourism), it may be helpful to read this guide.
-
If you have limited tax liability in Greenland, you should submit a tax return using this form. Limited tax liability usually applies for shorter stays in Greenland.
-
If you contribute to a pension scheme outside of Greenland, review the rules on foreign pensions here. Understanding pension rules can be beneficial for your planning.
-
If your employer provides you with housing as part of your relocation, such as a temporary residence, you can review how this will be taxed here.
-
For a comprehensive introduction to Greenlandic tax rules, we recommend reading the guide "Tax Withholding in Greenland," available via this link. The related summary shows which types of income are classified as A-income and B-income. See the summary here.
