It is 5.4 billion euros of revenue in total. Some 3 million taxpayers will have to pay a tax in respect of their non-recurring income received in 2018 while the majority of taxpayers have not paid taxes on their income last year, the "year in white", according to the government.

"the 2.8 million taxpayers will pay a tax for 2018", said Thursday the minister of the Action and of the public accounts Gérald Darmanin. According to Bercy, "they will probably be 3 million when all the taxes will be issued".

This measure, referred to as the"year in white", not, however, applied to the non-recurring income, which remained subject to the tax.
