| Except that when you're receiving unemployment benefits you are not making any contributions to the 2nd Pillar. I find this quite strange since it contradicts the "30k limit for the 3rd pillar is for [self employed] people who don't [can't] pay into the 2nd pillar" argument. | |

Strictly speaking, you have no real income when unemployed. So you can 3a contribute 20% of zero, which is zero. It is already a big concession that they let you contribute and deduct 6.5k.
