Individuals: The repeal of wealth tax on every asset which is not real estate. With such a change the so called “wealth tax” will become similar to any real estate tax. The “housing tax “, the equivalent to the “school tax” in the US will be repealed for most households.

Income from stocks and Bonds: A flat tax of 30% is considered.
The current flat tax called Contribution Sociale Généralisée “CSG” of 15.5% which hits passive incomes (portfolio income, real estate, capital gains) may be raised by 1.5% but the 30% cited above will probably include it. Important note: Due to tax treaty between US and France US citizens are exempt from tax on dividends and capital gains on portfolios as they are already taxed in the US
