France's Direction générale des Finances publiques (DGFiP) reported a 1.1% increase in economic VAT revenue for 2024, according to bulletin number 37 of "DGFiP Statistiques" published on 2 September 2025.
The bulletin forms part of DGFiP's regular statistical analysis covering all areas of French taxation. The Public Statistics Unit within the Department of Fiscal Studies and Statistics produces these publications to provide data-driven insights into tax performance across different revenue streams.
The 1.1% growth in economic VAT reflects France's broader fiscal performance in 2024, with VAT remaining a cornerstone of the country's indirect tax revenue structure. Economic VAT measures the theoretical VAT that would be collected if all economic transactions were subject to the standard rate, providing a key indicator of underlying economic activity subject to VAT.
