It will cost DKK 349 million for the Tax Commission to complete its work.
According to Politiken, this appears from a statement that Minister of Justice Nick Hækkerup (S) has sent to the Folketing’s tax committee.
Originally, the budget was 308 million kroner, but the bill increased last year to 318 million kroner and is now even higher.
It was also planned to complete the work in 2023. It is now expected to be in 2024.
The commission was set up in 2017. Among other things, it will uncover the course of a number of scandals – including dividend tax fraud and littered debt recovery.
In the first part of the work, the commission has focused on how it could happen that fraudsters from abroad were paid 12.7 billion kroner in dividend tax, which they according to the authorities were not entitled to.
In addition, the commission focuses on the mergers and savings rounds that have been in the tax administration from 2006 to 2014.
As part of the work, there will also be a focus on how changing tax ministers and other ministers – including in the Ministry of Finance – have played a role in the case.
In December, there are interrogations of the former tax ministers Troels Lund Poulsen (V), Kristian Jensen (V), Thor Möger Pedersen (SF) and Holger K. Nielsen (S) and former finance minister Bjarne Corydon.
