Every day…
Millions of Moroccans use digital services from companies based abroad.
Netflix.
Spotify.
Google.
Microsoft.
ChatGPT.
But until now…
Taxing those services wasn’t always straightforward.
──────────
That’s changing.
Morocco has officially introduced a new VAT system targeting foreign digital service providers selling to customers in the Kingdom.
The goal?
Make international platforms follow the same tax rules as local businesses.
──────────
Who’s affected?
Foreign companies with no physical presence in Morocco that provide digital services remotely.
That includes streaming platforms…
Cloud services…
Software subscriptions…
Online advertising…
And many other digital products.
──────────
Here’s how it works.
Since 11 June 2026, the companies concerned must register with the Moroccan tax administration through a dedicated online platform.
They receive a Moroccan tax ID…
Declare the revenue generated in Morocco…
And pay the VAT due directly to the tax authorities.
──────────
For consumers…
Nothing changes in the way you use these services.
But the price of certain subscriptions or digital services may now include Moroccan VAT, depending on how each provider applies the new rules.
──────────
This reform isn’t unique to Morocco.
Countries around the world have been updating their tax systems to keep pace with the digital economy and ensure global tech companies contribute where their services are consumed.
──────────
From binge-watching your favorite series…
To using AI tools…
Or subscribing to cloud software…
The digital world is becoming more global.
And now…
Morocco’s tax system is catching up.
