France raises VAT on Canal+, sparking standoff over 200 million euros
Original: canal
The French government has confirmed an increase in VAT on Canal+ subscriptions as part of the 2027 budget, a measure the channel says will cost it around 200 million euros, prompting a standoff with Bercy. The cinema sector is worried about the impact on funding, and rugby is alarmed that higher subscription prices and weakened broadcasting rights could hit the sport's finances.
Why now: The confirmed VAT hike in the 2027 budget directly threatens Canal+'s finances and the sports and cinema sectors that depend on its funding.
