The French National Assembly rejected the 2027 budget revenue portion with 458 votes against, 0 in favor, and 2 abstentions. The previously passed amendments related to encryption were not included in the budget text submitted to the Senate. The proposals may still be reintroduced in the Senate and will need to pass subsequent budget reviews to become law. The previously passed amendments included taxing gains from cryptocurrency exchanges for stablecoins and requiring taxpayers to declare self-custodied crypto assets worth at least €100,000, with the assessment date for these assets being December 31st of the tax year. Another amendment proposed increasing the penalty for crypto platforms that fail to provide information to tax authorities from €10,000 to €50,000. The Senate is scheduled to begin deliberating on the fiscal bill on November 20th and on the revenue portion of the budget on November 23rd.
