What's inside

For company directors (SRL/BV, SA/NV), the EIP is often the most powerful pension pillar. This guide explains the 80% rule, how the target capital is calculated, the trade-offs against the PLCI and the tax pitfalls to anticipate before 65.

Who is this guide for?

The guide is designed for the following profiles. If you recognise yourself in at least one of them, reading it will save you hours of searching through scattered sources.

  • Directors of an SRL/SA paid a regular remuneration
  • Self-employed people considering moving to a company
  • Director couples (two coordinated EIPs)
