Re: Swiss Pension Question
You can stock up your company pension fund (Pillar 2), if the fund allows you to do so. The statement you get each year, usually in January or February, will tell you the maximum amount you can pay in.
The amounts you pay in are totally tax-deductible, so it's generally worth spreading the payments over several years. However, money paid in to top up a Pillar 2 pension fund cannot be withdrawn in the form of capital within 3 years (this may vary from one canton to another) of its having been paid in. The tax man will want the tax reductions you got paid back.
