I forgot to make my pay in last year. damn that hurt

but this year I'm going to compensate doubly for it. In Baselland in addition to the 3rd Pillar there's the Wohnsparen that allows you to pay in around 12000.-- tax deductible into a "Wohnsparplan" so I'll end up with almost 19000.-- less taxable income

there's a popular initiative running to allow all cantons to do that but I guess that will still take some years (even if it is approved by the sovereign).
