Foreigners will help pay for Denmark's tax cuts as welfare rules tightened

Stricter conditions will be placed on foreign citizens in relation to social welfare payments including unemployment support (kontanthjælp or dagpenge in Danish) as a direct result of a new tax plan agreed between the coalition government and parliamentary allies.

The tax cuts amount to around five billion kroner (670 million euros) reports Ritzau.

The cuts are expected to give Danish taxpayers an annual windfall in the range of 1,850 to 3,150 kroner, newspaper Jyllands-Posten reported earlier this week.

Fridolin acknowledges the sense of shame and embarrassment felt in Sweden. “The problem is that this embarrassment is carried by the teachers. But this embarrassment should be carried by us politicians. We were the ones who created the system. It’s a political failure,” he says.
