ChainCatcher reports that the French National Assembly’s Finance Committee passed two crypto tax amendments this week: starting January 1, 2027, exchanges into MiCA-regulated stablecoins would be treated as taxable disposals; and tax households relocating abroad with total crypto assets worth more than €800,000 would be subject to an exit tax. The committee rejected the revenue section of the budget by 31 votes to 3. The full National Assembly will debate the government’s original text, so the amendments will not be included automatically. Supporters must reintroduce them during debates beginning October 13, with a formal vote scheduled for October 20.

The measures have not yet become law. The stablecoin amendment was introduced by Nicolas Sansu, a member of the left-wing GDR parliamentary group, and 16 co-signatories. It applies to electronic money tokens as defined by MiCA. The amendment does not set a new tax rate, but would bring the relevant gains under France’s existing 31.4% flat-tax regime. The committee also adopted an amendment proposed by Daniel Labaronne, allowing investors to carry forward crypto-asset losses for 10 years to offset future gains. The proposed exit tax would apply to taxpayers who have been French tax residents for at least 6 of the past 10 years and whose crypto assets, including custodial assets, have a combined value exceeding €800,000.
