The CSU regional group in the Bundestag is calling for an end to account fees for pensioners.
“The current inflation and simultaneously rising account fees affect pensioners in particular,” says the draft resolution for the traditional CSU retreat at the start of the year, which BILD am SONNTAG has received.
Therefore, in future there will be “a free basic account for seniors”, with which the direct debit or transfer of pension, rent and insurance are free.
“We want to specifically relieve pensioners,” says CSU regional group leader Alexander Dobrindt (51). “The principle must apply: Small pensions must not be burdened with large fees.”
In addition, annual income below 60,000 euros for 2021 and 2022 should be able to deduct a “super lump sum” of 1,000 euros from tax.
The CSU wants to make childcare costs completely deductible, align the tax-free allowance for children with that for adults and raise the tax relief amount for single parents to 5000 euros.
