Faced with a shortage of skilled labour, Berlin is eager to adopt a tax measure allowing pensions to earn large additional sums each month.
On Wednesday, the Federal Cabinet approves the introduction of the active pension from 2026. In future, pensioners should be able to earn up to 2000 euros per month tax-free. However, not every older person who wants to work can benefit from it.

Employees who continue to work at retirement age are to be allowed to earn up to 2,000 euros per month tax-free in the future. The Federal Government is now launching the law.
The German government is planning an active pension that would allow older employees to continue working tax-free while still in retirement. The Finance Ministry expects 168,000 applicants and an annual revenue shortfall of approximately €890 million.
