Dow Jones-the planned “active pension” of the Federal Government could cost the state more than it brings, if not enough pensioners. The German Institute for Economic Research (DIW) sees impending take-take effects, reports the Süddeutsche Zeitung, citing a DIW study that is available to the sheet. 230,000 pensioners who were already working would benefit from the tax bonus for people who continue to work after retirement. Besser earners in particular would benefit from the bonus, in which a monthly content of up to 2,000 euros would be tax -free.
The DIW puts the losses of tax revenue at around 0.8 billion euros, it continues. If the active pension creates 75,000 additional jobs, this compensates for the loss of income according to DIW. The Bundesbank, however, was skeptical on Tuesday that the active pension could really motivate many pensioners to work longer.
