Whenever possible, use the maximum amount for your Pillar 3a. In this way, you not only ensure a financially relaxed retirement age, but can also save a maximum of taxes, as the payments into Pillar 3a can be deducted from your taxable income.

How often do the maximum amounts in the third pillar change?

Since the introduction of Pillar 3a in 1985, the Federal Social Insurance Office has made adjustments at varying intervals. In the past, Pillar 3a maximum amounts were usually increased every two years.

With True Wealth's Pillar 3a, you no longer have to worry about the 3a maximum amounts. Clients who have activated the "automatic top-up" function benefit from the automatic exhaustion of the respective maximum amount. In short, all deposits are credited to the Pillar 3a up to the respective 3a maximum amount; what is over and above this amount is invested in the free portfolio. Use of this function is, of course, voluntary.

The tax advantages of Pillar 3a

1. Tax deduction for annual savings contributions: Annual contributions can be deducted from taxable income up to the statutory maximum, reducing income tax.
2. Tax-free pension provision: No wealth, income or withholding taxes are payable for the entire duration of the retirement provision in Pillar 3a.
3. Reduced tax rate on payout: When the saved capital is paid out, a reduced capital tax rate applies, which is independent of personal income tax.
