France postpones 2027 budget vote, crypto exit-tax proposals scrapped
Summary
France’s National Assembly rejected two proposals to tax unrealized crypto gains when taxpayers move abroad. One would have added crypto to the existing exit-tax regime; the other targeted household crypto holdings above €800,000 for qualifying long-term French residents. Debate on the 2027 budget’s revenue section continues, with a vote delayed for a second time and 758 amendments still pending. Other crypto measures await debate, including mandatory reporting of self-custodied holdings worth at least €100,000 and a tax exemption for small crypto payments. Lawmakers previously approved a proposal to tax crypto gains converted into fiat-pegged stablecoins, but it has not become law.
