Transactions - France - Deposit labels

This article explains which label to select to categorize your deposit transactions as a French tax resident.

📝 Description

Generally, deposits increase the value of your portfolio. Your choice of label directly impacts the calculation of your capital gains and losses. Therefore, do not apply a label if you are unsure of its tax implications.

According to tax regulations, certain deposits must also increase your Total Acquisition Price (PTA).

💡 In France, not all deposits need to be categorized. Only the following types are strictly mandatory, as they increase your Total Acquisition Price: Cashback, Salary, Donation / Gift.
