What does "tax-free" really mean?
Many parents ask: "Is this really tax-free for my child?"
Answer: Often yes - if a few things are taken into account:
Answer: Often yes - if a few things are taken into account:
- β The child has no incomeduring training/studies

Our ratings
All published reviews come from parents who have personally used our advice.
We collect feedback:
We collect feedback:
- directly after the consultation (e.g. via WhatsApp or email)
- via Trustpilot (with system-supported authenticity check) and Google
- via voluntary online surveys
The reviews were submitted voluntarily. An external formal authenticity check within the meaning of Section 5b (3) UWG does not take place.
Why we expect a 6% return in our examples
The 6% is not a guarantee - but a realistic average value.
- Historically, the annual return on broadly diversified equity markets - even in the worst periods - has been around 6% over the long term
- We deliberately calculate conservatively
- The actual return depends on the product & market
Conclusion: The 6% figure is not optimistic - it has been chosen carefully. So that you can clearly assess what is possible for your child in the long term.
