Webkey/password (Veflykill):

An electronic ID is the best option but if you don't have one you can use a password. You get your password at the website www.skattur.is using the link “Sækja veflykil”. You choose whether to have it sent by mail to your registered address in Iceland (Lögheimili) or to your online banking in Iceland (Heimabanki).

Living abroad

Those living abroad may be required to turn in a tax return in Iceland, for example those who received salary or any other type of income from Iceland in the year 2023 and real estate owners.

Should a person living abroad not be able to log in with an electronic ID or have an active password, a new one can be sent as soon as the application form has been filled out.
