Pension payments are rising! Applications to adjust contributions open in November, with up to 5900 deposited monthly; contribution rules and eligibility explained
Farmers can choose a retirement-savings contribution rate ranging from 1% to 10% of the minimum wage.
Farmers’ retirement savings are funded 40% by farmers and 60% by the government. The total monthly contribution is the minimum wage multiplied by the contribution rate and then by 2.
Using the minimum wage of 29500 in 115 as an example, a 10% contribution would put 5900 into the retirement account each month, including a government subsidy of 3540.
Applications to adjust the contribution rate must be submitted to the local farmers’ or fishermen’s association where the applicant is registered. The new rate takes effect on Dec. 1.
Explainer: If children claim parents as dependents on their tax return and live with them, will the 8110 old-farmer allowance be stopped? 3 scenarios explained
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
The article explains that children claiming their parents as dependents or changing their household registration will not affect the old-farmer allowance. However, moving may mean losing the deduction for an owner-occupied home, potentially leading to suspension under the asset-test rules if the value of land and property exceeds 500万. Those who began receiving the allowance before 2013 are not subject to the asset test.
Facts
If children claim their parents as dependents on their income tax return, it will not affect their parents’ eligibility for the old-farmer allowance.
The old-farmer allowance asset test applies only to the applicant and does not include the income or real estate of a spouse, children or dependents.
Those approved to receive the old-farmer allowance can continue receiving it even if they move out of their original farmers’ association’s jurisdiction or leave farmers’ insurance.
For applicants who applied for the old-farmer allowance from Jan. 1, 2013, the combined value of their land and homes, after certain deductions, must be less than 500萬元.
Those without a farmhouse who actually live in their sole owner-occupied home can deduct up to 400萬元 from the combined value of their land and property.
