Field help: Did you pay money to someone as a permanent burden?

Select "yes" if you made payments in the form of a perpetual burden to a third party.

Perpetual burdens are regular monthly payments that can be adjusted at any time if the financial circumstances of the contracting parties change. The amount of the payment may, for example, depend on the profit of the transferred business.

The main application is asset transfer as part of anticipated inheritance. In this case, parents usually transfer assets (e.g. company shares) to their children during their lifetime. In return, the children commit to paying a monthly pension to the parents for life.
