France's National Assembly finance committee backed a fine of up to €10,000 on undeclared self-custody crypto worth €100,000 or more. It then voted 31 to 3 against the 2027 revenue section, so Cointelegraph, citing Clubic, reports the clause must be resubmitted.

France's parliamentary Finance Committee approved a tax on crypto-to-stablecoin conversions for the 2027 budget, though the measure is not yet law. A companion 10-year loss carry-forward, reported by crypto.news, makes the cost-basis choice on pre-2027 coins the decision to get right.

Greece has drafted a 10% tax on crypto gains with a 500-euro yearly exemption, down from the 15% it floated in June. Officials have not estimated the revenue because most Greek holders trade on platforms abroad, crypto.news reported, and the new EU reporting rules are built to capture those trades.

Deblock, Lyzi and Waltio executives want France to tax crypto-to-stablecoin swaps, ending a 2019 rule that defers tax until holders cash out or spend. They argue the deferral leaves money parked in stablecoins and slows the build-out of French payment infrastructure.

HMRC's crypto warning letters are up 25% to 81,000 and still largely guesswork. From 2027, CARF replaces the guessing with matched account data, and waiting stops being cheap.
