The Life Events page (/life-events) lets you record changes that affect your tax status — Penzum then automatically applies the correct calculation logic across the Dashboard, the Calculator, and the Obligations calendar.

​
Recordable event types

The page only allows events from a closed list:
  • Business type change (part-time ↔ full-time ↔ retired)
  • Tax form change (flat-rate ↔ KATA ↔ VSZJA)
  • Child born / Dependent ended
  • Recording a marriage
  • Disability start / end
  • GYED (childcare fee) start / end
  • GYES (childcare allowance) start / end
  • Sick leave start / end
  • Business suspension start / end
The page only shows buttons relevant to your current status — e.g. “Record marriage” only appears if you’re not already recorded as married.

​
Business type change

Effective date, new business type (excluding your current one), and an optional note. An amber warning reminds you that you also need to notify NAV separately — Penzum does not do this on your behalf.

​
Tax form change

Effective date and the new tax form. Important rule: if switching to or from KATA or VSZJA, the effective date can only be 1 January — if you pick another date, the system automatically corrects it and warns you.

​
Child born / Dependent ended

Date, an optional checkbox if the child has a disability, and a note. This entry updates your dependent count, which is the basis for the family tax benefit calculation.

​
Marriage, disability, GYED, GYES, sick leave, business suspension

These all have the same shape: date and an optional note. Marriage can only be recorded once.

​
Log

At the bottom of the page, every past event is listed chronologically, with its state transition (e.g. “Part-time → Full-time”), date, and — where relevant — a note about whether an official filing is also required (e.g. with NAV).
Life Events does not replace the Employment page — if you have a job (or its end) at another company, it cannot be recorded here, only on the Employment page.
