Munich – November 03, 2026 -- Continentale is urging its sales partners to promote special payments into the Basisrente, as 2026 tax-deductible contributions reach up to EUR 30,826 for single filers and EUR 61,652 for jointly assessed couples.
Continentale tells brokers to approach clients with unused tax headroom
Clients who have not exhausted their deductible limit can make a one-off top-up, the insurer says. The actual tax relief depends on each client's income and pension situation. Continentale also wants intermediaries to explain how the Basisrente and the new retirement savings account (Altersvorsorgedepot) will work together from 2027.
