  • Article 83 retirement savings plans

Natixis Interépargne offers customers collective pension plans for their employees. These are known as Article 83 plans. This type of plan provides employees additional lifetime pension payments with attractive tax incentives (within account limits), reinforcing their sense of corporate loyalty. By opting for an Article 83 plan, the company generates retirement funds above and beyond the state-required minimum amounts for those employees who belong to the eligible group specified in the article. These additional pension payments are made in the form of lifetime annuities. They can only be accessed once the employee takes his or her basic retirement in accordance with French law, or at the age mentioned in the first paragraph of article L. 351-1 of the French social security code and specified in article R.351-2.

Mainly used for senior executives and managers, these defined benefit plans create collective funds which then benefit the category of employee specified in Article 39 of the General French Tax Law. The amounts are paid in the form of life annuities that supplement basic pension payments.
