Indeed, throughout the life of your life insurance policy, capitalized income and interest are tax exempt . Investors can therefore take full advantage of their investment during the 8 years of ownership. Because yes, the holding period is decisive when placing your money on a life insurance contract. At the end of the eight years, all the withdrawals or redemptions that you will make on the contract will be exempt from taxes.

6. PER

Entering into force on October 1, 2019, the retirement savings plan (PER) is a new form of savings plan intended to facilitate management by encompassing all other retirement savings products, such as PERCO, the Madelin law or still the PERP, while offering advantageous taxation. The PER was designed to encourage the French to save for retirement while saving tax.

7. THE PER

The PERP (People’s Retirement Savings Plan), ancestor of the PER, is a common savings product accessible to all. Not only does it make it possible to prepare for retirement by providing an exit nest egg that will provide additional income, but it also allows contributions to be deducted from taxable income. Attention, within the limit of 10% of the net professional income received. Another advantage not to be overlooked: social security contributions are not borne during the period of constitution of the savings and the sums paid into a PERP are not retained for the calculation of the taxable heritage at the IFI, the tax on real estate wealth.
