France Scraps Controversial VAT Reforms, Maintains Current Thresholds for Small Businesses

• Proposed VAT reforms in France, which would have lowered exemption thresholds for small businesses, have been scrapped.
• The changes faced strong opposition from freelancers, small business owners, and parliamentarians.
• The current VAT exemption thresholds (€37,500 for services, €85,000 for retail) will remain in place for now.
• The government acknowledged the reform was unpopular and will not include it in the upcoming finance bill.
• Future VAT reforms for small businesses are still possible but seem unlikely in the near term.
