Re: Proposed tax changes from 01.01.2025 (Jahressteuergesetz 2024)

To confirm my interpretation, which may also be useful to others who have a UK SIPP or similar foreign pension, which is taxable in Germany: If benefits are encashed before 31.12.2024, they will be taxed in Germany as a normal investment fund, i.e. only on the capital gain.
