French Lawmakers Reject One AI Tax Proposal; Two More Fail in Committee

France’s National Assembly on Friday, Oct. 30, rejected a plan to tax company spending on artificial intelligence, while two other AI tax measures failed in committee during debate over the 2027 budget. Amendment 2290 targeted companies with at least 250 employees in France. It covered expenses for acquiring, leasing or subscribing to AI systems but did not specify a tax rate. The government opposed the measure before the Assembly rejected it. The finance committee rejected two other measures. One proposed a 1% charge on annual AI and robotics spending above €100,000, including token charges. Tokens are units used to calculate billing for AI model use. The other proposal would have expanded France’s digital services tax to AI services.
