France, the champion of taxes, unfortunately for the French

📉 In France, the taxation of capital income, particularly cryptocurrencies, is in the spotlight. The 2025 Finance Bill (PLF) provides for an increase in the flat tax (single flat-rate levy) from 30% to 33%. For taxpayers with a reference taxable income of more than 250,000 euros (or 500,000 euros for a couple), this rate will rise to 37.2%, combining 17.2% of social security contributions and 20% of income tax. 😬

💰 Furthermore, the Senate proposes to replace the real estate wealth tax (IFI) with a "tax on unproductive wealth". This new tax would target assets such as cryptocurrencies, but also savings books and bank accounts, considered "unproductive". ⚖️
