France postpones 2027 budget vote, crypto exit-tax proposals scrapped

The French National Assembly will continue debating the revenue section of the 2027 state budget on Tuesday instead of holding a planned vote.

According to the Assembly’s end-of-session notice following Monday’s sitting, Tuesday’s agenda includes questions to the government and continued debate on the budget’s revenue section with 758 amendments still pending examination.

This marks the vote’s second delay, after the original Oct. 20 vote was postponed with more than 2,000 amendments awaiting debate, according to French newspaper Le Monde.

The National Assembly has until midnight on Nov. 17 to complete its first-reading examination. If the revenue section is rejected, the government’s original budget proposal will move to the Senate without the amendments adopted by MPs.
