Field help:
Have you paid financial settlements to your divorced spouse to avoid pension rights adjustments?
Select Yes if you have made financial settlements to avoid a pension rights adjustment.
Financial settlements to avoid a pension rights adjustment following a divorce or the dissolution of a civil partnership are deductible as special expenses. In return, the recipient is taxed.
There is no difference as to whether the compensation relates to a civil service pension, a public pension, a private pension, a subsidised pension or a company pension. Payments are only tax-deductible as special expenses.
