What is the KBC Brussels Home & Pension Plan?
The KBC Brussels Home & Pension Plan is a (class 21) pension savings insurance plan that allows you to build up a supplementary pension in a tax-efficient manner under the pension savings tax scheme. What's more you can use it to pay for your loan balance insurance if you take out a home loan in the future.
Pension savings insurance can be taken out by any taxpayer aged between 18 and 65. Starting early means that a tidy pension pot can be built up for later.
Interest is guaranteed on the amounts saved until the end of the contract, making it a very safe product. KBC Insurance guarantees paying interest on every net deposit until the contract ends. At present, the rate is 2.00%.
Planning to build, renovate or buy a home sometime in the future? You can use the capital you've accumulated to pay for loan balance insurance (i.e. mortgage cover life insurance). By saving tax-efficiently beforehand, you also create more financial breathing space for yourself during the period you pay off your home loan.
What is the return on a KBC Brussels Home & Pension Plan?
KBC Insurance guarantees the interest rate on every deposit until your contract's expiry date. It currently amounts to 2.00%.
Profit sharing
In addition to the security of a minimum return, an annual profit share is possible. This is not guaranteed and depends on prevailing economic conditions and the results of KBC Insurance.
More about KBC Brussels Home & Pension Plan
You're in control in deciding how much to pay into the plan and when, tailored to your individual family situation and subject to the maximum allowed under the tax rules. This could be as little as 10 euros per month and 120 euros per year.
Protect your next of kin and take out additional death cover to give them an extra lump sum if you die. The premium for this cover is deducted monthly from your reserve.
The minimum term is 10 years. This pension savings insurance policy expires on your 65th birthday. If you start when you turn 55 or older, you will have to wait 10 years to dip into your pension pot to enjoy the benefit of a favourable tax rate. If you die the capital you accrued is paid to your designated beneficiary. You can always withdraw your savings earlier, but you will be heavily taxed.
In 2024, you have a choice of two maximum amounts eligible for tax relief. Opting to pay in up to 1,310 euros gives you up to 25% tax relief.
If you don’t make a choice, 1,020 euros will be the most you can save for tax relief under your plan and you’ll get up to 30% tax relief. You need to tell us each year if you’re opting to save up to 1,310 euros for tax purposes.
A favourable rate of final tax is deducted on your 60th birthday through the advance levy. If you start pension saving after your 55th birthday, the tax will be levied ten years after the start date of your contract. Remember that tax treatment depends on your individual circumstances and may change in the future.
| Management fee | None |
| Entry fees | 5% of each deposit |
| Exit fees | 5%, reducing annually by 1% during each of the last five years of the contract. No surrender charges if you retire at state retirement age or take early retirement or bridging pension. |
