Variables

The register contains information on average gross income (income subject to ordinary taxation - calculated by Statistics Denmark), taxable income, and taxes and the like. The average gross income is also divided into income types for various social groups. Taxable persons are also divided by age, socioeconomic group, gross income size, taxable income size and county. For each municipality, a number of taxable persons, average gross income size, taxable income as well as taxes and the like are shown. For tax-privileged pension arrangements, number of persons and average payment by age group and by socioeconomic group are shown.
