State-owned FDJ expects increased gambling tax requirements in France to result in a €45 million ($47.1 million) EBITDA impact in 2025 as the government finalizes tax and social security increases for each gaming vertical.
In a statement dated 14 February, FDJ said it would likely pay an additional €90 million in taxes in France by July 2026, a year into the new tax rates.
Before the new taxes come into force, FDJ said its 2024 revenue relating to gaming in France totaled over €2.6 billion after paying €4.4 billion in taxes.
New tax requirements are expected to come into force in July in France. These are the result of a new Finance Bill included in France’s 2025 budget which was presented to policymakers last October.
