Briefly

VAT changes for self-employed in France postponed until 2026
"The proposed reform does not meet with unanimous approval, either for or against. The government has taken the decision to suspend the implementation of the reform."
"Under current rules, micro-entrepreneurs benefit from a simplified business regime and a VAT exemption on earnings below €37,500 annually for services."
In a move responding to backlash from the small business community, the French government has suspended proposed changes to VAT rates affecting self-employed micro-entrepreneurs until at least 2026. Originally included in the contentious 2025 Budget, the changes aimed to lower the VAT threshold to €25,000, impacting many freelancers and small businesses. Finance Minister Éric Lombard announced the suspension aims to allow for constructive debate on the issue. Consequently, micro-entrepreneurs can continue operating under existing exemptions until further decisions are made in the upcoming 2026 Budget discussions.
