Overview
- Lawmakers approved the revenues chapter 176–161, with the Socialist group voting in favor, the National Rally and France Unbowed voting against, and Republicans largely abstaining as parts of the governing bloc showed splits.
- Deputies stripped out several government savings measures, including the mutual insurers surtax, an 8% employer levy on meal vouchers and similar benefits, the end of apprentices’ payroll exemptions, and a proposed CSG bracket freeze.
- After first voting to scrap the C3S production levy, the Assembly reinstated it in a second deliberation, while adopting a higher CSG rate on certain capital income (9.2% to 10.6%) projected to raise about €2.6–€2.8 billion.
- New provisions include mandatory Nutri-Score labeling with limited exceptions, a tax on hexane, a levy on alcoholic energy drinks, higher employer charges on severance via ruptures conventionnelles, and a minimum contribution for some non‑EU PUMa beneficiaries.
- Debate on the spending chapter has begun, with deputies rejecting an expansion of medical copays and a flu vaccination mandate for nursing homes and some caregivers; work pauses for the 11 November Armistice before a Wednesday afternoon debate on suspending the pension reform under tight constitutional deadlines.
