Buying crypto in France: what to know
Legal- Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) — MiCA competent authority for CASPs (formerly PSAN registration)
- ACPR — Prudential supervision, e-money token issuers
- DGFiP (impots.gouv.fr) — Tax authority
Crypto sold for euros or goods is taxed at a 31.4% flat tax; crypto-to-crypto swaps are not taxed, and years with total sales of €305 or less are exempt.
Gains: 31.4% flat tax (12.8% income tax + 18.6% social levies); option for the progressive scale
- Failing to declare foreign platform accounts (3916-bis) carries fines per account.
- The AMF publishes a blacklist of unauthorised crypto sites.
- Since 1 Jul 2026 unauthorised providers may no longer serve French users; check the AMF/ESMA registers.
