For which pensions do I have to pay taxes?

Most pensions are taxable. These include retirement pensions and disability pensions, widow's or widower's (large and small) pension, orphan's pension, company pension (from direct insurance) and life insurance pensions. Depending on the type of pension, different taxation applies.

However, you do not have to pay tax on a pension, which you receive from the statutory accident insurance (professional liability insurance), a war pension, the severely disabled person's pension and a compensation pension.
