- Get extra financial protection in the event of work disability, disability or during maternity leave
- Build a bigger pension pot for later life
- Get tax relief
Why choose a KBC Life Pension Plan – (Social) VSPSS?
Building a supplementary pension by way of a social VSPSS (social voluntary supplementary pension scheme for the self-employed) gives you maximum protection and tax benefits. The VSPSS is called 'social' because 10% of the contributions you pay in automatically go to a solidarity fund. This gives you and your loved ones extra financial protection in case you become (physically) disabled for work or you are on maternity leave.
Warning! Any independent and regulated salaried care provider can take out a KBC Life Pension Plan – (Social) VSPSS.
Benefits
The social component is funded by deducting 10% from the contributions paid by you. With a KBC Life Pension Plan – (Social) VSPSS, you get at least four additional types of cover (solidarity cover):
- Funding of your supplementary pension should you become disabled for work due to an illness or accident
- Funding of your supplementary pension should you become physically disabled for work due to an illness or accident
- Funding of your supplementary pensioen and extra compensation in case of maternity leave
- Compensation for loss of income in the form of an annuity should you become incapacitated for work following an illness or accident
You can find more information in the solidarity cover product fact sheet.
Although the extra cover provided by the social VSPSS is nice, it is still relatively limited. Solid guaranteed income insurance remains an absolute must for anyone who is self-employed.
If you want to get the maximum tax benefit from your social VSPSS, you no longer need to ask your accountant or insurance intermediary to do this for you. Change your policy to ‘Maximum tax relief based on your income’. Starting this year, we’ll get your income details from the government every year, so you won’t ever miss out on any tax benefits again.
Up until the time of retirement, the contributions that are paid in generate a return and constitute the final pension capital. Are you buying a KBC Life Pension Plan – (Social) VSPSS today? Then the interest earned is 2.0% for all deposits and is guaranteed until the contract’s expiry date.
If the economic situation and KBC Insurance’s earnings allow, this income from the KBC Life Pension Plan – VSPSS can be supplemented annually with a variable, non-guaranteed profit share
