2- Tax benefits:
The financial products of life insurance contracts are taxed either at the progressive scale of income tax or at the rate of the levy in discharge. Whatever the method of taxation chosen, after 8 years an annual allowance of €4,600 for a single person or €9,200 for a married couple applies to the base subject to taxation (excluding social security contributions).
