Kernrechtsfrage
Whether ordinary and buy-in contributions to the overobligatory pension scheme remained tax-deductible after retirement while only the obligatory pension was drawn.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The continued scheme in the overobligatory part alone was not legally recognizable for tax purposes, so neither the ordinary contributions nor the buy-in contribution were deductible.
Extrahierte Begründung
After ordinary retirement age, an employed person may defer retirement benefits only within a lawful pension relationship. A purely overobligatory continuation, separated from the obligatory pillar already in payment, is incompatible with the BVG structure, the applicable regulations, and the principle of collectivity. Art. 4(3) BVG is reserved to self-employed persons and cannot be invoked by employees.
