Pension funds
The new legal provisions and orders relating to occupational pension schemes came into force in 2012. We show you how to optimize your situation according to these new constraints.
The Three Pillar Principle
Insurance against old age, death, invalidity, accident, illness and unemployment are regulated in Switzerland following a system of 3 pillars:
1st pillar: State provision
2nd pillar: Occupational pension
3rd pillar: Personal provision
It is subdivided into two categories: pillar 3a -fixed pension plan- and pillar 3b as a flexible pension plan the two having differing benefits and tax advantages. While the obligatory 1st and 2nd pillars cover about 60% of your former income, 3rd pillar provisions allow you to continue enjoying the same standard of living as before. It is encouraged by the federal and cantonal authorities by means of tax concessions.
