Dividend King wrote that the National Assembly had adopted two amendments to the 2027 finance bill. According to him, the first established a tax of €0.055 per gigabyte of internet data, which would target digital content providers but would ultimately be paid by consumers. He claimed that it could double or triple mobile and internet bills. He also indicated that socialist deputies had succeeded in restoring the Exit Tax at 15 years. He deemed this measure contradictory to statements asserting that France would be a tax haven for the ultra-rich and that they would not leave if taxes increased. Dividend King estimated that the government would likely pass its version of the budget through article 49.3 or by ordinances. He also criticized the deputies for their votes and their remuneration. According to him, out of the 577 seats in the National Assembly, 35 deputies were present during the vote on the internet tax: 11 voted in favor, 10 against, and 14 abstained. #Finances2027 #Fiscalité #AssembléeNationale (translated)
