How to open a managed CEA ?
The Managed CEA can be opened at one of our branches Tunisie Valeurs. When opening a Managed CEA (under mandate), you sign an agreement specifying the management mode.
What are the advantages of a CEA ?
The CEA is an intelligent formula for investing in the stock market by making diversified and profitable investments over the medium and long term. This formula offers you many advantages :
  • You deduct the sums deposited in the CEA, from the base of your taxable income, up to 100 000 dinars per year
  • Your tax gains can reach 55% of the tax amount
  • You benefit from the potential gain (capital gain) on the medium/long term of the acquired shares.
  • You decide how much, when and how often you feed the CEA.

The benefit of the tax advantage linked to the CEA is subject to the respect of certain conditions :

  • The sums deposited in the CEA account must be frozen for a period of 5 years, starting on January 1 of the year following the year of deposit. The blocking obligation applies only to the amounts deposited. Sales and purchases in the CEA are free.
  • Presentation to the employer or the tax authorities of a certificate of deposit issued by Tunisie Valeurs.
  • Sums deposited in the CEA, used within 30 trading days following the date of their deposit, for the exclusive acquisition of
    • at least 60% in listed shares and at most 40% in Assimilable Treasury Bonds issued by the State
    • or of shares or units of OPCVM respecting these same rules.
  • The sale of securities is permitted on condition that the sums used to acquire them (and to determine the tax advantage) are returned to the CEA. These sums must be reused within a period not exceeding 30 trading days.
  • The sums deposited in the CEA do not earn interest
  • Regarding the beneficiary, following the non-respect of the blocking condition:
      • Withdrawal of the sums and securities deposited before the expiry of the 5th year following the year of their deposit entails the payment by the account holder of the tax due and not paid, increased by late penalties.
    .
  • The payment of late penalties is not due in case of withdrawal due to unforeseeable events: illness, accident with bodily injury, work stoppage, death of the account holder…
  • The death of the account holder does not imply the forfeiture of the account (closing of the account) and of the benefits granted.
  • The heirs retain the tax benefits provided they respect the blocking conditions for the remaining period.
  • Management under mandate: in this case you delegate the management of your CEA to one of our portfolio managers.
  • Collective management: in this case you invest in one of our dedicated CEA funds: FCP Valeurs CEA or FCP BIAT Epargne Actions. You will thus combine tax savings with the advantage of collective management.
