What Changes for Taxpayers

Employees

Lower withholding at source. A single employee earning 8,000 MAD/month saves approximately 850 MAD/year in IR thanks to the raised exemption threshold and reduced marginal rate.

Retirees

Full exemption from IR on all pensions. A major relief for retirees who previously paid IR on pension income above the scale.

Liberal Professions & Self-Employed

The raised exemption threshold and reduced top rate improve net income. Combined with the CPU regime transition possibilities, strategic tax planning becomes essential.
