These rules are part of Denmark’s strict compliance with the Collective Agreement and the conditions of residence permits for interns. The goal is to protect interns from exploitation and ensure a healthy work-life balance.

Registration & Tax in Denmark

If you join the agri LIDA internship programme, we will handle your registration with SKAT (the Danish Tax Authority) on your behalf. This means you will not need to apply for your tax card or personal tax number yourself—agri LIDA will ensure everything is set up correctly before you begin your internship.
