The tax is being scrapped. It took a long time to get here but those of you who signed helped force their hand. We should take a moment to breathe before we watch to ensure they actually follow through.
The Danish government is killing innovation.Help us save Denmark from itself.Despite repeated warnings from the private sector, the previous Danish government introduced a new 25 % tax on privately held shares (totaling 67 % tax). Despite repeated promises to repeal this tax, the current government has done nothing.This ‘Entrepreneur Tax’ is unlike anything the world has seen. Effectively it has kneecapped the ecosystem we depend on for creating the new jobs for Denmark.
The silence from the current government remains heavy despite the clear damage this tax is doing to our ability to build anything new. It is exhausting to watch the ecosystem wither while promises to repeal this policy go ignored. I am still here working to get this in front of the right people because the alternative is simply letting innovation die.

My startup is already looking at moving to Sweden because of this. Good luck keeping any talent in Denmark with these rules.

Danish innovation is dying because of this greedy government. Do something before there is nothing left.

We need entrepreneurs to grow the economy not punish them for trying to build something. This policy is completely backwards.

TOTAL INSANITY. Politicians have no idea how business works apparently.

67% tax is just theft. Simple as that.

Ridiculous tax. How are we supposed to start anything new when the state takes almost everything we earn? Fix this now.
