2026 French Budget Uncertainty: VAT Thresholds, DST Hike, €2 Customs Fee, Rate Cuts in Limbo

  • The French National Assembly rejected the “revenues” part of the 2026 Finance Bill, creating uncertainty around key VAT and tax measures.
  • Proposed changes include adjustments to VAT registration thresholds, an increase in the Digital Services Tax, and a new €2 customs fee on low-value consignments.
  • The bill also includes a two-year soft landing for the 2026 e-invoicing mandate and targeted VAT rate cuts for sport and fair-trade products.
  • The legislation will now be reviewed by the Senate before returning to the lower house for a final vote.
