The French Ministry of Economy and Finance has announced that from 1 June 2025, a standard VAT exemption threshold of EUR 25,000 in turnover will apply to all businesses, replacing the current EUR 27,500 threshold. Sector-specific thresholds for goods, services, and certain activities will be eliminated. Originally planned for 1 March 2025, the change was postponed to allow for stakeholder consultations.

This announcement was made by the French Ministry of Economy and Finance on 28 February 2025.

Under the new regulation, the exemption will be based on the prior calendar year’s turnover, aligning with the existing threshold.

Earlier, the French Senate approved the Finance Law for 2025 on 6 February 2025, following approval by the National Assembly on 5 February. With both chambers’ approval, the law is adopted, pending constitutional review.
