Is it better to make voluntary contributions to my occupational pension or larger contributions to my private pension? How will it affect my taxes?

Both voluntary contributions to your occupational pension and contributions to your private pension are tax-deductible. In 2023, it was possible to deduct up to CHF 7,056 for private pension contributions. If you have an occupational pension plan with AVENA, your maximum voluntary contributions will depend on your personal situation.

How can I optimize my occupational pension? Will voluntary contributions lower my taxes?

You can make the most of your occupational pension by making voluntary contributions within the applicable laws and regulations. The amount you can contribute is indicated on your annual pension statement. Contact your occupational pension manager to get a contribution simulation and copy of the request form for making a voluntary contribution – the simulation is free, and there are no obligations. Voluntary contributions are tax-deductible.
