Key facts

  • Income up to MAD 40,000 is exempt, then 10% to MAD 60,000, 20% to MAD 80,000, 30% to MAD 100,000 and 34% to MAD 180,000.

Steps

  1. Determining Tax Residency — Tax residency in Morocco is determined by the number of days spent in the country within a calendar year. Residents are taxed on their worldwide income, while non-residents are taxed only on their Moroccan-sourced income.
  2. Calculating Taxable Income — Taxable income includes salaries, wages, and other income earned in Morocco. Taxpayers must also report any foreign income earned, although this may only be taxed if it is considered 'Moroccan-sourced' under the applicable double taxation agreement.
  3. Filing Tax Returns — Taxpayers must file their tax returns with the Moroccan tax authorities within three months of the end of the tax year. The tax return must include all necessary documentation, including proof of income, expenses, and any relevant certifications or approvals.
