How much is a LDDS?
Remuneration and calculation of interest
The interests of the LDDS are calculated on the 1ᵉʳ and the 16 of each month and the accumulated interest in the year are added to the capital formed on December 31. The sums deposited produce interest if they are placed by whole fortnight. This rule of fortnight is less favorable than day -to -day remuneration, as is for example the case on paid current accounts.
Adequate moments to make a payment or withdrawal
To avoid losing about fifteen interests, it is preferable:
- to make a payment as late as possible in the fortnight (for example the 13) since it will only produce interest from the next fifteen (which starts on 16).
- to withdraw funds as soon as possible for the same reasons.
The interests received are exempt from income tax and social security contributions.
Can I combine an LDDS and a booklet A?
Yes, it is entirely possible to combine a sustainable and united development booklet (LDDS) and an A booklet. These two savings booklets are regulated by the State and both offer tax advantages, in particular the exemption from ‘Interest tax. However, a person can only open one booklet A and LDDS at the same time.

How to close your sustainable and united development booklet?
The booklet can be closed by simple letter presented to the banking establishment, indicating the references of the account on which the funds will be transferred. This approach can also be carried out at the counter of the establishment concerned. In the event of a closing of the LDDS during the year, the interests over the period run since the start of the year are credited on the day of the closing.
A savings account is considered inactive if no operation has been carried out for five consecutive years. If, after ten years, the holder (or one of his relatives) has not manifested himself, the funds of this account are transferred to the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations (CDC). She will keep them for 20 years. To this deadline, the funds will fall into the stall of the state.
Note: Savers can check if they are beneficiaries of an inactive account without knowing it by connecting to the Ciclade site.
