From French National Assembly Adopts Crypto Declaration and Exit Tax Rules

How could the rejection of the budget's revenue section affect Emmanuel Macron's government?

Possible What happens if… A possibility worth considering, not a forecast.

Macron's government faces legislative hurdles over crypto tax amendments While the National Assembly's Finance Committee adopted crypto amendments—including requiring self-custody wallet declarations for assets over €100,000 and extending the exit tax to crypto-assets from January 1, 2027—it subsequently rejected the revenue section of the broader 2027 budget bill by 31 votes to 3. This rejection means the crypto amendments cannot carry over and must be re-submitted and approved during the full parliamentary proceedings. This creates a significant legislative challenge for the government, which relies on the National Assembly to pass the budget and its associated financial reforms.

The facts so far

As reported. Each one links to where it comes from.

  • The Finance Committee adopted the crypto amendment requiring self-custody wallet declarations for assets equal or above €100,000.cointelegraph.com, aol.co.uk
  • The Finance Committee rejected the revenue section of the broader 2027 budget bill by 31 votes to 3.cointelegraph.com, aol.co.uk
  • The exit tax extension to crypto-assets would apply to households with assets cumulatively worth more than €800,000 moving abroad from January 1, 2027.aol.co.uk
  • The crypto amendments must be re-tabled and approved during the parliamentary proceedings before becoming part of the legislation.cointelegraph.com, aol.co.uk

Why it matters

The proposed crypto regulations are part of a wider effort by French lawmakers to combat tax evasion, citing a parliamentary inquiry that found crypto capital gains reached €3.5 billion in 2021, while only €400 million in holdings were declared to tax authorities that year. The measures aim to bring digital assets into the existing tax framework, including extending the exit tax for wealthy individuals moving abroad.

This legislative challenge is significant because the government's ability to pass the 2027 budget, which contains these tax changes, is already facing an uphill battle. The rejection of the revenue section by the Finance Committee means the government must navigate a complex and uncertain path through the National Assembly to enact its financial agenda.

What we don't know yet

  • Will the National Assembly successfully re-approve the revenue section of the budget bill?
  • Will the crypto amendments be successfully re-tabled and passed during the parliamentary proceedings?
