French Government Proposes New Tax on Aviation Sector in 2025 Budget

The proposed tax aims to raise €1 billion, sparking opposition from the aviation industry over potential economic impacts.

The French government plans to introduce a new tax on the aviation sector as part of its 2025 budget proposal.
The proposed tax is expected to generate an additional €1 billion for the state, with a focus on taxing airline tickets.
The aviation industry, represented by the Union of French Airports and the National Federation of Aviation, argues that the tax is disproportionate and could harm the sector.
Industry leaders are calling for a comprehensive impact study to assess the potential economic consequences before the tax is implemented.
The aviation sector claims that the increased tax burden could hinder investment in sustainable technologies and ultimately reduce fiscal revenues.
