French Finance Committee

French lawmakers are examining the first part of the 2027 finance bill in the finance committee, with income tax at the centre of the debate. Discussions focus on tax brackets, rates and possible changes to household taxation as the government sets out its fiscal priorities for next year. French media are following the hearings closely, as tax measures in the budget directly affect millions of households.

France's Finance Committee has voted to extend the country's exit tax to cover cryptocurrency holdings valued above €800,000. The measure would mean wealthy individuals leaving France could face taxation on substantial crypto assets, aligning digital holdings with other forms of wealth already covered by the levy. The vote marks a significant step in France's effort to broaden tax rules to capture digital assets held by departing residents.
