Step 3: What Options Do I Have for Optimizing My Tax Situation?

Do you want to fully optimize your tax savings? We will show what options are available.

Save Tax on Your 2nd Pillar Benefits

Following the first BVG/LPP revision, as the insured you can have your retirement assets paid out as a lump sum. Normally you have to notify your pension fund if you wish to do so three years prior to retirement. As a rule of thumb, if you have pension fund assets of CHF 500,000 or more, you should definitely consider a lump-sum payment.

Save Tax on Your 3rd Pillar Benefits

Spreading the payout of 3rd pillar benefits over several years can help you save tax. The important thing is to open several pillar 3a pension accounts during the savings phase. This is because when an account is closed, the balance has to be paid out in full.

One further option you have to save tax is to change your domicile. There can be differences of up to 50 percent in taxation levels from canton to canton and municipality to municipality. Use our Tax Calculator to find out how much tax you would have to pay in your chosen municipality.
