An individual pension plan is a long-term savings product designed to help you prepare financially for retirement. Its main objective is to generate savings that complement the public Social Security pension, helping you maintain your standard of living after retirement. By investing in a pension fund, your money is managed by a management company and held by a custodian institution, with the aim of obtaining returns adjusted to the level of risk according to the chosen asset allocation strategy.
One of its main attractions is the tax benefits available under Personal Income Tax (IRPF). Annual contributions made to a pension plan directly reduce the taxable base of the tax, resulting in an immediate tax relief. It is important to keep in mind the legal contribution limits (currently set at €1,500 per year for individual pension plans), as they allow you to optimise your tax bill while building your retirement savings plan.

The choice depends on your risk profile and, above all, on your investment time horizon.
Good portfolio diversification helps manage market volatility over the years.
When planning your retirement, you can choose from several withdrawal options:
Regarding the taxation of withdrawals, the funds are taxed as employment income. It is possible to apply a 40% reduction to the benefits corresponding to contributions made before 2007 (subject to certain time-related conditions).
The withdrawal of a pension plan is linked to specific contingencies: retirement, disability, death (in which case the beneficiaries receive the funds), or dependency. In addition, there are exceptional liquidity situations, such as long-term unemployment or serious illness. Currently, it is also possible to withdraw contributions that were made more than 10 years ago.
No. Transfers between pension plans are completely tax-free. You will not have to pay taxes for moving your savings from one institution to another (technically known as a pension plan transfer). You will only be taxed when you decide to withdraw the funds upon retirement.
