UBS Fisca account

Retirement planning - save on taxes

The UBS Fisca retirement savings account forms the basis of the UBS Fisca retirement savings programme for tax-privileged saving (pillar 3a). It is available for all taxpayers with an AHV-liable income.

Tax benefits

  • Payments into your UBS Fisca retirement savings account can be deducted from your taxable income up to the maximum annual amount (employed persons with a pension fund: up to CHF 6,566; employed persons without a pension fund: 20% of income, up to a maximum of CHF 32,832).

  • No wealth tax is payable on the balance of your Fisca retirement savings account.

  • Interest and capital gains are tax-free for the duration of the retirement savings agreement.

  • The capital payout is taxed separately from ordinary income at a privileged rate at both federal and cantonal levels.
