(2024): Did you have to pay aт annuity to someone?

Select Yes if you have to pay an annuity to a third person and the contract on which it is based was concluded before 01.01.2008.

Annuities are paid in constant amounts, i.e. a regular monthly payment of a constant amount.

The main case of an application for an annuity is the transfer of assets as part of the anticipated succession. As a rule, parents transfer assets to their children during their lifetime. In return, the children undertake to pay a monthly annuity to the parents for life.

Important: Deductibility as an annuity depends on the date of the contract. Until 01.01.2008, the distinction was made between long-term financial burdens and annuities. Since 2008, benefits due to asset transfers as part of anticipated succession are always "long-term financial burdens".
