France's National Assembly voted down the revenue section of the 2027 budget bill on November 4. The official roll call recorded 458 votes against, none in favour and two abstentions.

The revenue section was the first part of the budget bill. Under Article 119 of the Assembly's rules, failure to adopt that part means the bill is treated as rejected at first reading.

The result shows the procedural weight of a vote on the first part of a finance bill. It determines the status of the wider bill in the chamber at that stage.
