France's government is making changes to its proposed tax increases for employers in order to strike a balance between pro-business policies and addressing public finance gaps.

The scale of tax hikes will be reduced, particularly in relation to tax breaks for hiring low-income workers. These adjustments are part of the 2025 budget bill, which aims to implement €60 billion ($63.8 billion) in tax increases and spending cuts to tackle the national deficit.

The planned changes to employer levies were initially expected to contribute around €4 billion towards this financial objective.
