Do you really know life insurance?

Savers have every interest in subscribing to a life insurance contract as soon as possible in order to benefit from advantageous taxation.

Life insurance is one of the preferred investments for savers. Indeed, the contract makes it possible to meet the following objectives:

  • Protection of the person of your choice 
  • The transmission of your assets with an advantageous tax framework
  • Valuation of invested capital

Subscription to a life insurance contract is accessible to everyone. Savers have every interest in subscribing to a life insurance contract as soon as possible in order to benefit from advantageous taxation.

What are the advantages ?

1- Economic advantages:

  • Saving without blocking the capital. The capital, the amount of which depends on the surrender value of the contract, is always available.
  • Diversify your assets and thus reduce volatility thanks to unit-linked products (stocks, bonds, real estate, etc.)
  • Obtain an advance. This is analyzed as a loan, which will have to be repaid, but which will often prove to be less expensive than a bank loan.
  • To be backed by a loan, which is part of a strategy of acquiring investment real estate. The capital is no longer available for the duration of the pledge.

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).

3- Succession advantage

Indeed, life insurance provides benefits at the inheritance level and also offers great freedom in investment choices (depending on your risk profiles of course).
At the level of succession, Art. 990 of the CGI (General Tax Code) specifies that for payments made before the age of 70, you obtain an exemption of €152,500 per beneficiary (all contracts combined). Beyond this allowance, the levy amounts to 20% for the fraction of the taxable part of each beneficiary less than or equal to €700,000, and to 31.25% for the fraction of the taxable part of each beneficiary exceeding this limit.

Art.757B of the CGI specifies that for payments made after age 70, the premiums paid are subject to inheritance tax after a deduction of 30,500 euros for all beneficiaries, capital gains realized are exempt from inheritance tax. succession.

Dismemberment of the beneficiary clause

The dismemberment of the beneficiary clause is another tax optimization technique based on the use of the life insurance contract.

The purpose of this designation is to organize the transfer of capital over time between several successive beneficiaries, while arranging the rights and obligations of each and allowing them to benefit from advantageous taxation.

The drafting of the clause must be the subject of all attention in order to avoid possible conflicting situations.
