France's National Assembly voted on Tuesday, November 3, for an amendment to the 2027 finance bill that would require taxpayers to report self-custodied crypto holdings worth at least €100,000 (about $112,000) to the tax authorities. If you are a French taxpayer holding crypto in a wallet you control rather than on an exchange, the threshold targets you directly - provided the measure survives the rest of the budget process.

Amendment no. 2701, tabled by deputy Charles de Courson after article 32 of the bill, passed in public vote no. 9636 during the second sitting of Tuesday, November 3, 2026.

Charles de Courson, a member of the LIOT group, voted for his own amendment, as did all 5 deputies in the group.
Who voted against
Opposition was concentrated in Ensemble pour la République: 24 votes against, one for and two abstentions. Droite Républicaine split, with 4 for, 11 against and 2 abstentions.
The remaining votes against came from Les Démocrates (2), Horizons & Indépendants (2), Union des droites pour la République (4) and a single RN deputy, Kévin Mauvieux.
Where the measure stands
The vote took place in the first reading of the 2027 finance bill. The amendment has to be retained in the final text of the law to become a tax obligation.
Until then, the €100,000 threshold is a provision adopted by a single chamber, not a rule in force.
