3 SAYE
British FINANCE ( abbreviation save-as-you-earn) = plan d'épargne à contributions mensuelles produisant des intérêts exonérés d'impôtsSAYE was introduced more than 20 years ago as a way to encourage workers to become stakeholders in their own companies and to boost private investment in the stock market. The proceeds of SAYE schemes are subject to capital gains tax but the investment is relatively risk free because if the company's share price falls the individual can reclaim the cash they invested rather than taking the price for the shares.
