France triples the tax on highway concessionaires to raise €1.4 billion annually, directly impacting Abertis subsidiary Sanef, Vinci, and Eiffage. The measure alters the fiscal regime for infrastructure operators, potentially affecting earnings and investment plans. Uncertainty remains over whether operators can pass costs to users or will challenge the tax.
