What is a lijfrente (annuity) and how does it help with retirement?

A lijfrente (annuity) is a private pension product where you build up capital, often with tax advantages, that later pays out a regular income. It is popular with people who have a pension gap (pensioengat), such as the self-employed, to supplement their AOW and any workplace pension. The contributions can often be deducted within annual limits.
