Tax-efficient saving at KBC

Pension saving and long-term saving are two tax-efficient ways to set money aside for later in life. Depending on your individual tax situation, you can get tax relief of up to 30% each year on the amount you save.

The whats and hows of tax-efficient saving

Tax-efficient saving simply means you can claim tax relief (= a tax reduction) on the amounts you save. This effectively is an incentive from the government to encourage you to save over the long term.

Most people start with pension saving and, if they wish, can supplement it with a long-term savings product. This can be an interesting way to get even more tax relief, to pay for mortgage protection cover and/or to designate a beneficiary for the capital you’ve built up.
