Pension tax: Important tips and workshops for Dudweiler citizens!

On May 21, 2025, two important events at the adult education center (vhs) are planned in the Dudweiler community center, which address different subject areas. The first event, a guide to pension tax, will take place on June 5, 2025 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. Speaker Klaus-Peter Schäfer, who is known as the head of the HILO Wemmetsweiler income tax assistance center, will lead the evening. The participation fee is €8.00, although payment on site is not possible. Registration is required in writing under course number 8808 as places are limited.

The content of the guide will provide an overview of different types of pensions and their taxation. What is particularly important is the innovation that 83.5% of pension payments will have to be taxed from 2025, as transparent-beraten.de reports. This regulation is in the context of a gradual increase in the tax share, which will rise to 100% by 2058.

The topics also include tax relief such as income-related expenses, special expenses and the retirement allowance. Participants receive valuable information about important deadlines and support in filling out forms. Legal innovations are also discussed, including energy-saving renovations and mini-jobs, which are important for many pensioners.

The second event, a workshop entitled “Happy Childhood”, will also take place on June 11, 2025 from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the Dudweiler community center. The speaker Susanne Wilhelm, an educational scientist and systemic therapist, will lead the participants through an interactive exchange. The workshop is free of charge, and written registration under course number 8813 is also required, as places to participate are limited.

This workshop focuses on the definition and meaning of happiness for children and parents. The role of parents in the happiness of their children is also discussed.
The event offers a platform for questions and the exchange of experiences around the important topic of happiness in the family.

Tax aspects for pensioners

According to the information from transparent-beraten.de, the taxation of pensions is decisively influenced by the respective retirement date. Since 2005, pensioners have had to pay tax on their pensions. The basic tax allowance plays an important role: in 2025 it will be €12,096 for single people and €24,192 for married people. It is estimated that around 75% of pensioner households are exempt from pension tax.

In addition, pensioners can deduct certain expenses from their taxes, such as extraordinary expenses or the retirement allowance. The current legal innovations, which are also of interest to citizens, are particularly relevant for new pension appointments or rising pension increases. The vhs events offer a valuable opportunity for information and exchange on these important topics.
