- France has reinstated its previous VAT exemption regime retroactively from January 1, 2025, canceling a planned single lower threshold.
- The original reform proposed a single €25,000 threshold, which faced strong opposition from professional groups.
- The restored regime maintains higher, activity-specific thresholds for 2025 (e.g., €93,500 for domestic turnover, €55,000 for lawyers/authors/artists).
- These thresholds apply until at least December 31, 2025; exceeding them removes the exemption.
- The government plans to revisit the single threshold proposal for 2026, potentially lowering thresholds and abolishing specific exemptions.
