France: Digital Services Tax
(GAFAM Tax) Raised from 3% to 15%

On 22 October 2025, France’s National Assembly approved Amendment I-CF1827 to the 2026 Finance Bill, raising the Digital Services Tax from 3% to 15% and increasing the global revenue threshold from €750 million to €2 billion.

  • Fair contribution: Align taxation with revenues generated by major digital platforms in France.
  • Fiscal sovereignty: A proportionate response to U.S. tariffs and a reaffirmation of France’s tax independence
  • Revenue impact: DST yielded about €700 million in 2024; the increase is expected to boost receipts (per the explanatory note).
  • Bridge to multilateral rules: A transitional measure pending the OECD’s global framework
