We answer a frequently asked question – mandatory pension contributions for the self-employed.
The self-employed include selbständiger and Freiberufler.
Since 2019, the government has been discussing the topic of making pension contributions mandatory for the self-employed as well.
Currently, for most entrepreneurs, deductions are voluntary. There are professions for which deductions have always been mandatory, but we are sure that these lucky people already know about it.
The government has planned mandatory pension contributions for ALL entrepreneurs from 2024.
Key aspects:
Deductions must be protected from confiscation and seizure, both by the entrepreneur himself and by possible creditors.
The law will apply to entrepreneurs who are under 35 years old.
Contributions must form a pension above the minimum basic level. Today it is about 800 €.
Friends, we can say one thing - apart from yourself, no one will take care of your old age and will not form your pension capital. And what tools you will use is up to you.
