It's a rather strange name for a gross-income tax indeed. Successive Danish governments have been very creative in the domain of tax.

Asker: Thank you: I did check IATE but somehow did not get the answer. I am not translating from Danish. A good friend is considering a job offer in Greenland and has asked me to check a couple of terms he was unsure of. I really appreciate the help I was given.

All working citizens must pay labour market contributions. Your employer will deduct the contributions from your pay. Labour market contributions are used for the Government's labour market expenses, for example to cover unemployment benefits, supplementary training courses and maternity.

Example sentence(s):
  • B-income is income on which tax and labour market contributions (AM-bidrag) have not been withheld by your employer.
