How do I enter the pension in the tax return?

Pension payments must be entered in Annex R of your tax return:
You must enter the following pension payments on the front of the form:
1. payments from the GRV
2. pensions from occupational pension schemes
3. private Rürup pension
4. pensions from agricultural pension funds
5. pensions from private pension insurance and other private pensions.

On the other hand, you must enter these payments on the reverse side:
Riester pension
Company pension from pension funds, pension funds and direct insurances
Supplementary pension from the public service

The associated income-related expenses must also be entered on the reverse side, separated according to pension type.
As a civil servant, you use the front of Annex N for your pension payments:
Civil servant pension
Private company pension
Company pension, which represents wages
