Plan d’Epargne en Actions (PEA) Accounts
French tax-resident clients use a PEA account to acquire a portfolio of European securities while benefitting from preferential tax conditions.
The IBKR Advantage
- Create a diversified portfolio of European Economic Area ("EEA") securities while benefitting from preferential tax conditions. After five years of holding a PEA, withdrawals are exempt from capital gains tax but still subject to a social contribution tax of 17.2%.
- There are no fees associated with opening your PEA account, no custody fees and no transfer fees. Transaction fees are limited to just 0.5% of the transaction amount for electronic trading (1.2% of the transaction amount for phone orders).
- Easy-to-handle, online process for managing EUR deposits and withdrawals with minimum administrative tasks.
- Powerful trading technology and advanced trading tools help you create and execute your trading strategies with ease from virtually any desktop or mobile device.
- Opening a PEA account with Interactive Brokers is quick and easy. If you have an existing PEA account, transferring it to IBKR is straightforward, while adding a new PEA account to your existing IBKR account only takes a few minutes and can be funded in seconds.
