Income tax - Should wage savings be reported?

Verified 08 June 2023 - Legal and Administrative Information Directorate (Prime Minister)

You must report amounts received in 2022 under a wage savings system in 2023. However, there are exemptions.

Amounts paid by your employer are exempt from tax within certain limits if they are paid under one of the following wage savings plans:

  • PEE: titleContent
  • PEI: titleContent
  • Perco: titleContent
  • PER: titleContent collective company

You don't have to declare the exempt amounts.

The income of securities placed in a PEE: titleContent or a PEI: titleContent are also exempt from tax if the following 2 conditions are met:

  • Income reinvested in the savings plan
  • Compliance with the duration of unavailability of securities

The amount is also not taxable if you recovered it as part of the exceptional wage savings release introduced for 2022.

Please note

the amounts paid as part of the wage savings are subject to social contributions.

You do not have to report the following amounts:

  • Amounts paid on a Perco: titleContent corresponding to days of rest not taken
  • Compensatory allowances from a TEC corresponding to sums from profit-sharing and participation (after the blocking period) or a PEE: titleContent

You do not have to declare your profit on condition that the money received is deposited within 15 days of its payment on one of the following salary savings plans:

  • PEE: titleContent
  • PEI: titleContent
