Individuals of legal age whose tax residence is in France may open a share savings plan with a credit institution, the Caisse des dépôts et consignations, the Banque de France, La Banque Postale, an investment firm or an insurance company governed by the Insurance Code.
The same person may hold only one share savings plan. A plan may have only one holder.
The plan gives rise to the opening of a securities account and an associated cash account, or, for plans opened with an insurance company, to the signing of a capitalisation contract.
Plan holders can make cash deposits up to a limit of €150,000 since the plan was opened. However, until the end of the attachment period, this limit is set at €20,000 for an adult individual attached to a taxpayer’s tax household under the conditions set out in article 6(3) of the General Tax Code.
