Comfort loan balance insurance as supplementary cover in a VSPSS and social VSPSS

Your VSPSS or social VSPSS (sVSPSS) enables you to not only save for your pension, but also to put loan balance insurance in place for your home loan or investment credit. The insurance is designed to clear (part of) your outstanding loan balance should you die early, thus ensuring your next of kin are not left with the burden of an outstanding debt.

The insurance is intended for the self-employed, company managers and liberal professionals, who are eligible for a VSPSS.

Loan balance insurance is linked to your loan and therefore automatically tracks what you have left to repay, meaning you’re always insured for the correct amount even if you repay part of your loan early.

Advance insurance cover ensures you are covered before you start drawing down the loan and even before the deed of loan has been notarised. The cover applies for up to one year and ends when your actual insurance cover begins.

The loan must be in the name of the insured who has to be a natural person.

• We apply certain criteria for this purpose (find out why we do this and how it works in the KBC Insurance Segmentation Policy)
• We recalculate your premium each month on the basis of the loan amount still outstanding.
• As the premiums for Comfort Loan Balance Insurance are financed from the reserves in the VSPSS or sVSPSS, you don’t pay an additional premium for this insurance.

• The premiums you pay in your VSPSS or sVSPSS are fully deductible as business expenses
• Due to the fact that the tax authorities regard buying property as a way of accumulating supplementary pension income, the premiums are taxed as a VSPSS or sVSPSS
•  The social and tax benefits combined can add up to as much as 63%
•  If you die early, notional interest is calculated at a beneficial rate on the reserves of a VSPSS or sVSPSS and on the sum covered by the loan balance insurance

 It depends on the cover percentage you choose. The cover percentage for your loan balance insurance shows which percentage of the outstanding loan amount is insured. Speak to your insurance agent to find out which cover percentage is best for you.

• Death of the insured by suicide in the first year of the contract (euthanasia according to the legal provisions is, however, not an exclusion)
• Death of the insured as a consequence of an act of violence by the policyholder or the beneficiary
• Death as a consequence of active participation in events of war
