Germany's New “Tax-Free” Law Explained

The German government officially passed the massive "Rentenpaket II" - and hidden inside is a new law that could save you thousands of Euros. It’s called the "Aktivrente," and it allows you to earn up to 24.000€ completely tax-free starting in 2026. 🤑

But is this really a gift from the government, or just a desperate attempt to fix the "Fachkräftemangel"? And most importantly: Is it worth waiting until you are 67 to get this tax break?

In this video, we skip the boring political talk and break down exactly how the Aktivrente works, calculate the real net savings for a standard German salary, and discuss the "unfair" catch that excludes freelancers and self-employed people.

✅ My personal verdict: Should you stay in Germany for this deal?
