Pensioners will have to pay less taxes in the future - these age groups will benefit the most. This is the result of the Growth Opportunities Act passed on Friday.

In the future, the tax burden on pension payments will rise much more slowly than previously planned. This means future pensioners can save several thousand euros – if they were born in certain years. The new law is intended to be part of the solution to a long-standing nuisance: double taxation of pensions. The Federal Finance Court recently ruled that double taxation must be prevented.
