Kernrechtsfrage
Whether buy-ins into the new occupational pension scheme were tax-deductible despite the full vested benefits not being transferred.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The buy-ins were not deductible until the vested benefits were fully transferred into the new pension institution.
Extrahierte Begründung
Ordinary buy-ins are deductible, but not where the arrangement amounts to an individual, non-collective pension solution. For self-employed persons, no deductible buy-ins are allowed into the new institution as long as the vested benefits remain parked elsewhere; the chosen setup conflicted with the principle of collectivity and created the appearance of individual asset management.
