French Government Rejects Crypto-Friendly Tax Amendments

France’s parliament has rejected various crypto-friendly tax amendments directed at reducing taxes for cryptocurrency traders and consumers. Amidst rebuffed amendments are those regarding capital profits and losses and crypto tax exclusions, reported Bitcoin.com.

Right now, the crypto assets are taxed at 36.2% in France. That’s gained from regular income tax along with a universal benefaction. A design persists for a 30% tax rate for cryptocurrencies but it was rejected by the France Government. These amendments would have addressed the tax method for buying/selling in cryptocurrencies more profitable. The ruling arrives a week after two French legislators published a report supporting the investment of hundreds of millions of state money in blockchain technology.

Amendments Rejected

Not only this, the amendment described in Article 16a to simply tax gains on cryptocurrencies when they are traded and switched to a bank account, rather than taxing them based on their interpretations transformed into fiat on crypto exchanges, was also rejected.

Just a few days ago, G20 countries had displayed their plan to start acting on a solution to the matter of cryptocurrency taxation and regulation. France is also a member of G20. The countries have agreed to regulate cryptocurrencies. The countries will also proceed to control and, if needed, tackle rising uncertainties and vulnerabilities in the economic system; and, through continued regulatory and supervisory cooperation, address fragmentation.

The G20 countries are also thinking about a clear and flexible monetary policy, indoctrinated in accepted global standards. It is important to encourage sustainable growth. The G20 countries also stated that they remain dedicated to the complete, up-to-date and uniform implementation and finalization of the accepted financial reformation program, and the evaluation of its consequences.
