Using the account your country offers, instead of an ordinary one, can mean keeping meaningfully more of the same gain, for no extra risk.
The same €1,000 gain might keep €800 in an ordinary account and the full €1,000, or close to it, in a tax-friendly one, depending on the country's rules.
These accounts often come with limits: how much can go in each year, or rules about when money can come out. Check the conditions, not just the tax benefit.
Look up your country's name for this kind of account: many have one, built specifically for long-term saving and investing.
