Reader Question: Premium Bond winnings and ISAs are tax-free in the UK, but not in France. As a French resident, is there a way of saving without being taxed on interest?
You are correct regarding the different taxation of these kinds of savings.
Different countries have their own forms of tax-free saving, and generally do not recognise other countries’.
As a French resident, however, the good news is that according to the UK-France double tax treaty you should not pay UK tax on savings interest, meaning your income from a Livret A, for
example, is not taxable anywhere.

Other similar accounts, with no French income tax or social charges, include the livret de développement durable et solidaire (LDDS), livret d’épargne populaire (LEP), livret jeune and Plan
épargne avenir climat. Note, however, the latter two are for young people and the LEP is for people on lower incomes.
Putting money in an assurance vie is another way to save which can help to limit tax.

Note that on February 1, 2025, interest rates on a Livret A account will drop to 2.4%, down from 3%.
