Tax deductions for 2008 & 2011 bank failures

Shareholders who lost money in the collapses of Roskilde Bank in 2008 and Amagerbanken in 2011 can now claim part of their losses as tax deductions. This opportunity arises following the final settlement of the bankruptcy estates last year, allowing for deductions in the 2024 tax return. The accounting firm BDO highlights the necessity of having proper documentation to claim the deduction. Shareholders might face difficulties if they lack paper copies of their purchase documents or cannot locate them in their e-Boks (electronic mailbox). According to BDO and Nykredit, the relevant section for claiming these losses is box 66 in the tax return. Former shareholders of SAS, which was delisted last year, will also find Rubrik 66 pertinent, although SAS shares will already be registered as worthless in the tax assessment.
