not paying tax and live in Denmark

Hi,

to be able to answer you we need some more information:

1. Do you perform your work physically in Denmark? Or if you work in both Denmark and Switzerland – then how much of time in each country? (if you work from a computer in Switzerland but for the danish University – then you are considered to work in Switzerland)
2. If you only work in Denmark – then how often do you go home to Switzerland?
3. Are you a posted worker?
4. Are you an EU-citizen?

These things are important to know because it can mean that you are covered by EU-regulation regarding social security coordination.

Please answer on this page.

Best regards,

Hi,

I understand that you never actually worked in Denmark, but have performed your work for the danish University from a computer at you home in Switzerland.

Accoring to the EU-rules regarding coordination of social security you must as a starting point be insured in the country where you physically work – in your case Switzerland.

There are some special situations/exceptions to this. These situations are where you work in two countries at the same time, are a posted worker or a cross-border worker. But none of these situations apply in your situation.

So, you should have been insured in Switzerland, not in Denmark.

It is not relevant where you have permanent address or pay tax – it is where you physically perform your work that is important in relation to find out in which EU country you must be insured against unemployment.
