The new treaty will replace the existing 1970 tax agreement between France and Finland. 

The French Council of Ministers gave approval to the updated income tax agreement with Finland on 11 June 2025.

Signed on 4 April 2023, this treaty will replace the existing 1970 tax agreement between the two nations. The new tax treaty will not be governed by the OECD Multilateral Instrument (MLI) since it was signed after Finland and France ratified the MLI. However, it will still enforce several provisions from the MLI.

Earlier, Finland’s President Alexander Stubb ratified the new income tax treaty with France by signing it into law on 28 June 2024.
