The Craftsman Deduction and Service Deduction become even more attractive in 2025
From 2025, the craftsman deduction ("håndværkerfradrag") is reintroduced, allowing you to deduct up to DKK 8,600 per person for certain home improvements. At the same time, the service deduction is being raised to DKK 17,500 per person, expanding the opportunities to obtain tax deductions for various home services.
New Green Craftsman Deduction
For the period 2025–2027, a new green craftsman deduction is being introduced to promote sustainable renovations and energy improvements in private homes and holiday homes. This includes projects such as energy-saving upgrades, improved energy supply, and climate-proofing. These initiatives are designed not only to improve the home's energy efficiency, but also to contribute to a more sustainable future.
The Service Deduction
The service deduction, part of the well-known BoligJob scheme, is also being expanded and now covers a broader range of services. This includes:
General cleaning
Window cleaning
Childcare
Ordinary garden work
This gives homeowners a greater incentive to hire professional help for various tasks in and around the home, which can ease daily life considerably.
The Craftsman Deduction?
Insulation of roof, attic, exterior walls, and floor
Replacement of glazing, windows, exterior doors, and patio doors
Removal of wood-burning stoves
Work related to heating systems such as solar panels, heat pumps, and district-heating units
Improvements to ventilation and drainage installations
Radon protection
These initiatives support a greener profile and help reduce the home's overall energy consumption.
With the reintroduction of the craftsman deduction and the increase of the service deduction, Danish homeowners gain new opportunities to make their homes more sustainable and comfortable in a financially advantageous way.
