Re: 3rd Pillar Pension Fund

I was 26 and my wife was 32 when we moved to Switzerland, so we should have some gap (esp my wife).
Is it possible to transfer it to a 3a account?
3a is just a very special savings account (~2.75 compound interest per year, cannot access the funds until you retire, leave CH or pledge it to a mortgage), and as I understand it you can but as much as you like in there. 6566 CHF (for 2009) is the maximum tax benefit you can obtain per year! There is nothing to stop you adding more to the account, you just dont get the tax break!
