French parliamentary committee approves 2027 crypto and stablecoin tax measures
Image: CointelegraphFrance's National Assembly Finance Committee approved three 2027 budget tax amendments this week. One makes crypto conversions to fiat-pegged stablecoins taxable events starting January. Another extends the country's exit tax to cover unrealized crypto gains for households with over €800,000 in crypto moving abroad. A third amendment allows investors to carry forward realized crypto losses for 10 years. The full Assembly will examine the 2027 Finance Bill next week, and the measures are not yet enacted into law.
Key points
- France's Finance Committee approved crypto and stablecoin tax measures for the 2027 budget.
- Crypto-to-fiat-stablecoin conversions will be taxable events starting January if enacted.
- The proposed exit tax covers unrealized crypto gains for households with over €800,000 in crypto moving abroad.
Why it matters
The measures would change tax obligations for crypto investors in France, including taxing stablecoin conversions and exit taxes for high-net-worth holders. They align with broader EU crypto tax reporting rules under DAC8 that apply to crypto service providers across the bloc.
