In a much-watched TikTok video, a French-speaking presenter claims that, as soon as a person boards an aeroplane from France to a country outside the European Union, they are signing up for an automatic tax audit upon their return. It is not clarified who exactly would be affected.
"Starting on 1 September 2025, every traveller leaving the EU will be systematically reported to the French tax authorities via a new procedure," the author of the video states.
