How the German pension system can work for you
The German state pension scheme (Gesetzliche Rentenversicherung) is the cornerstone of pension planning in Germany. The German government is actively encouraging its inhabitants towards private pension planning by a system of mostly tax subsidised, insurance-based solutions:
- Multiple pension product solutions
- Significant tax and subsidy benefits
- Guaranteed return on investments available
- Large and secure providers
- All products regulated by the German authorities.
- All advice covered by our Professional Indemnity Insurance
Unfortunately, very few expats realise that they can also take advantage of these benefits whilst living and working in Germany.
