Capital withdrawals from pension plans (incl. partial withdrawals)
Case studies and detailed solution tips from Stefan Oesterhelt and Sirgit Meier. The workshop was part of the ISIS seminar "Pensions and Insurance" on September 22 + 23, 2025.
This seminar offers a comprehensive overview of key issues surrounding pension plans and (social) insurance.
The focus is on the tax treatment of pension benefits in both national and international contexts, with particular attention to lump-sum withdrawals from pension plans (including the withdrawal restriction under Art. 79 para. 3 of the Federal Constitution). In addition, the tax consequences of accidents, illness, and unemployment are examined. Another key focus is on the tax and social security challenges associated with cross-border employment, including the taxation of board of directors’ and foundation board fees.
In addition, the seminar addresses tax issues related to the third pillar, tax issues arising from the full or partial termination of employment relationships, and the taxation of severance payments.
