Full Deductible Treatment

Company expenses for treating and preventing employees' work-related injuries are fully deductible and not taxed for the employee.

Tax legislation:
Print from SKAT's website regarding employer-paid preventive treatment: Deductions and Tax. It is approved for tax purposes that companies can implement health measures in the company when it comes to so-called general schemes that include or are offered to all employees. This means that the company can deduct the costs on an equal footing with other operating costs, and that the employees do not have to be taxed. The requirement is that it must be preventive and real treatment of work-related injuries. Preventive is by its nature a very broad concept. For example, the scheme could be offered as part of the company's general health policy, and be introduced to prevent (and treat) work-related injuries.
