🏠 Outstanding balance insurance & loans

Tax impact of loan insurance

Beyond protection, outstanding balance insurance linked to a home loan can have a tax benefit.

A deductible premium

The premium can be deducted as a special expense. For a single premium (paid once at inception), the deduction ceiling is increased according to the age of the insured and household composition.

Deduction limit

The increased ceiling remains a deduction limit, not a promise of tax savings. The actual saving depends on your taxable income and your situation. The precise amounts depend on the tax year.

Single premium and cross-border workers

Cross-border workers with resident-equivalent status can, subject to conditions, benefit from the same mechanism. This is often a decisive factor in whether a tax return is worthwhile.

Balancing protection and taxation

The choice between a single premium and a recurring premium has both a budget and a tax impact. We model both options with you before any decision.
