Can you avoid paying yield with Amsterdam Bridge? – Of course!
The law of taxation created a rule for the yield income in the past, but the percentage of the yield tax was 0%. From the 1st of September 2006, the percentage of yield tax changed to 20%. It has had a serious effect on the yield income of the individual policyholders.
Yield tax must be paid because of the yields from the yield-period, which started after the 31st of August 2006. The savings life insurance products signed after this time are in a better position compared with the other investment products because the laws defined in personal income tax included a yield tax in special cases only. As a main rule, it is true that the benefits paid out for an insurance event are free of yield tax, and so are the maturity benefits of a minimum of a 10-year-long term policy.
The conditions of Amsterdam Bridge life insurance are very favorable for the laws of taxation:
- On the one hand, the term of the policy is at least for 10 years; on the other hand, the policy can only be signed by individual policyholders. Therefore, this product fulfils one of the requirements of both prosperous taxation and tax rebates.
- Further advantage of the Matrix Value is the option for a periodical maturity benefit. It means that at the 10th policy anniversary or at any anniversary of the policy, there is an option for the beneficiary, who can also be the policyholder, to withdraw some money from the policy under certain circumstances. The periodical maturity benefit, as well as the maturity benefit at the end of the term, is free of yield tax, since these benefits are due to insurance events. Accordingly, our client does not have any liability to pay taxes on the sum, but the total amount of resorted tax rebates are not paid back, either.

(*) The policy-holder takes the risks of the investments, since there is no capital-guarantee or yield-guarantee. Buying the units of the investment funds includes the risk for losing or decreasing the value of the units, as well as the value of the savings, mainly on the short run. A yield from the investment funds for any year during the previous years does not mean any guarantee in terms of the yield gained in the following years.
