Concerning tax on yields from pension plan assets, withheld before addition to custody account

►In the example, the tax added to the end-of-year custody account corresponds exactly to the tax on the basis of taxation, which is determined as the difference between the adjusted end-of-year custody account, i.e. after the addition of tax for the year, and the adjusted beginning-of-year custody account. ◄ 

►This is only possible if the pension provider calculates the PAL tax iteratively, i.e. using chain calculation. According to this method, the pension provider continues to calculate the PAL tax until the PAL tax which is added to the end-of-year custody account is the same as the PAL tax on the basis of taxation for the year. ◄

 

Iterative calculation no.
