BPI offers various types of flexible savings policies (in Euro or in units of account such as bonds, mutual funds, shares, etc) that allow you to contribute with regular payments or a lump sum, depending on your circumstances.
The amounts invested are not subject to wealth tax for non-residents. Note that you must pay wealth tax on a global net asset worth over 732,000 Euros (net of mortgage).
If you stay in the scheme for at least eight years, you benefit from a substantial rate reduction for capital gains tax.
In case of death, the named beneficiary/beneficiaries of your policy will not have to pay inheritance tax in France on the first 152,000 Euros.**
Please note that these schemes are restricted to European citizens.
