- France’s finance bill proposes doubling VAT on pay-TV subscriptions from the reduced 10% rate to the standard 20% rate.
- Canal+ says the VAT increase would cost it about €200 million a year and could force it to withdraw from its €1 billion film-financing commitment for 2028-2032.
- If Canal+ reduced support to only its regulatory minimum, its annual cinema contribution could fall to around €50 million.
- The bill also proposes cutting in half the tax rebate/allowance on advertising revenues for platforms such as YouTube and TikTok, which currently benefit from a 66% allowance.
