On 12 October 2026, following a decision by the Finance Committee of Inatsisartut (Greenland Parliament) on 10 October 2026, the Greenland Tax Agency announced the full forgiveness of overpaid Suila-tapit benefits for the 2025 income year. Suila-tapit is a targeted social support payment. The decision mandates that all citizens who received excess payments due to administrative errors will have their debt written off entirely, without any offset against future benefits or tax liabilities (modregning). Furthermore, citizens who have already repaid part or all of the overpaid amount will receive a full refund directly to their NemKonto account. The Agency expects to process both the debt forgiveness and the refunds within two weeks of the announcement. Inquiries can be directed to the Tax Agency via phone +299 34 65 10 or email suila@nanoq.gl.
Key Takeaways
- Unconditional Forgiveness: The write-off applies automatically with no requirement for citizen application; the Tax Agency will identify and adjust affected accounts.
- Refunds for Prior Repayments: Taxpayers who already repaid overpaid amounts will receive a full reimbursement, a rare move that restores financial equity.
- No Offset Clause: The explicit exclusion of modregning (offsetting) ensures the relief is a net positive cash flow for recipients, not a bookkeeping adjustment.
