37 TIMES SHARED Retirement is approaching, how do I redeem my pension plan?
How to redeem the savings in your pension plan is one of the most frequent questions when reaching retirement. Here we are going to show you the three ways of doing this.
The pension plan can be redeemed in several ways. You can decide to redeem your savings in the form of capital, that is, all at once in a lump-sum. You may prefer to gradually redeem them in the form of monthly income to supplement the state pension. However, it is also possible to redeem them in a mixed way: some as a lump-sum and the rest in the form of income.
It is important to thoroughly plan how you will redeem you pension plan with the help of an expert advisor to optimise the tax issues given your needs. Our managers can help you. Find out about this at your CaixaBank branch.
The important thing when optimising how to redeem your pension from a tax perspective is to carefully plan how to redeem the money taking into account your needs and the amount of income that will be obtained. Keep in mind that the higher the amount received annually, the higher the tax rate you will be charged.
