Morocco's income tax reform
What does it change on your salary?

The 2027 Finance Bill lowers employees' income tax (IR) in five steps, from January 2027 to the final 2031 scale: exempt threshold raised to 60,000 MAD, professional expenses at 45%, top rate cut from 37% to 30%. Enter your net, taxable net or gross salary: the simulator rebuilds your payslip and computes your gain, year by year.

The average rate relates the tax withheld to the taxable gross salary. The marginal rate is that of the last bracket reached by your taxable net income.

Calculation assumptions
  • Employee contributions: CNSS 4.48% within a 6,000 MAD monthly salary cap, AMO 2.26% uncapped, CIMR at the rate chosen among the 14 CIMR Al Kamil employee contribution rates (3% to 12%), applied to the whole salary.
  • Professional expenses in 2026 (art. 59-I-A of the Tax Code): 35% if annual gross pay does not exceed 78,000 MAD, 25% above, capped at 35,000 MAD per year.
  • Professional expenses from 2027: single rate of 45%, cap kept at 35,000 MAD per year. The rates specific to certain professions are abolished.
  • Family allowance (art. 74 of the Tax Code, 2026 Finance Act): 600 MAD per dependant per year, 3,600 MAD at most. The bill does not change it.
  • When you enter a net or taxable net salary, the amount is taken as the 2026 figure: the simulator recovers the matching gross salary with the 2026 rules, then applies each year's rules to that gross. Around 6,500 MAD of monthly gross (the 78,000 MAD yearly threshold), the switch of professional expenses from 35% to 25% can make some net amounts impossible to match to the unit.
  • Income tax is computed on annual income, bracket by bracket, then brought back to a monthly amount. The salary is assumed unchanged from one year to the next.
  • "Equivalent pay raise": the gross salary you would need under the 2026 rules to receive the same net as in the selected year, minus your current gross.
  • The simulator does not cover other income, personal deductions (mortgage interest, retirement savings), special regimes (fishermen, pensioners, non-residents) or the taxation of allowances planned from 2031.

04 · Understanding the reform

The income tax scales of the 2027 Finance Bill, year by year

The scale applies to annual taxable net income (gross salary minus CNSS, AMO and CIMR contributions, minus professional expenses). The exempt threshold rises from 40,000 to 60,000 MAD in 2027 and then stays put; it is the intermediate brackets and the top rate that come down every year afterwards, until the 2031 target scale.

Professional expenses: a single 45% rate

Today, the flat-rate deduction for professional expenses is 35% of taxable gross pay up to 78,000 MAD per year and 25% above, capped at 35,000 MAD. From January 2027, the bill adopts a single 45% rate for all employees, with the same 35,000 MAD cap. This measure, as much as the scale itself, explains the gain from 2027 for mid-range salaries.

Who gains what, and when

Up to 60,000 MAD of annual taxable net income (5,000 MAD per month), income tax disappears from 2027. Between 60,000 and 200,000 MAD, the gain builds up in several steps as the 10% bracket widens (80,000 MAD in 2027, 100,000 in 2028, 130,000 in 2029, 150,000 in 2030). Above that, the fall of the top rate (37%, then 35%, then 30%) and the extension of the 20% bracket to 500,000 MAD in 2031 matter most.

For employers: the January 2027 payroll

Income tax is withheld at source by the employer. The reform changes neither gross pay nor employer contributions, but the payroll software must apply the new scale and the 45% rate from the January 2027 payroll onwards, then every 1 January until 2031. A setting forgotten or applied late means too much tax withheld, to be refunded to employees.

05 · Frequently asked questions

Income tax reform 2027-2031: your questions

When does Morocco's income tax reform under the 2027 Finance Bill take effect?

The 2027 Finance Bill provides for a first scale applicable to income earned from 1 January 2027, then a new scale every year until the final 2031 scale. Employees would therefore see a first effect on their January 2027 payslip, subject to Parliament adopting the law.

What is the new income tax scale in Morocco for 2027?

For 2027, the bill provides five brackets of annual taxable net income: 0% up to 60,000 MAD, 10% from 60,001 to 80,000 MAD, 20% from 80,001 to 100,000 MAD, 34% from 100,001 to 180,000 MAD and 37% above 180,000 MAD. The exempt threshold thus rises from 40,000 to 60,000 MAD per year, i.e. 5,000 MAD of taxable net income per month.

What will the final income tax scale be in 2031?

The 2031 target scale has four brackets: 0% up to 60,000 MAD of annual taxable net income, 10% from 60,001 to 150,000 MAD, 20% from 150,001 to 500,000 MAD and 30% above 500,000 MAD. The top marginal rate therefore falls from 37% today to 30%.

What does the reform change for professional expenses?

From 1 January 2027, the flat-rate deduction for professional expenses becomes a single rate of 45% of taxable gross salary, capped at 35,000 MAD per year. Today it is 35% up to 78,000 MAD of annual gross pay and 25% above. The specific rates granted to certain professions are abolished.

From what salary do you stop paying income tax in 2027?

An employee whose annual taxable net income does not exceed 60,000 MAD, i.e. 5,000 MAD per month, no longer pays income tax from 2027. Taking into account CNSS and AMO contributions and the 45% professional expenses, this corresponds to a taxable gross salary of about 8,300 MAD per month for an employee without CIMR. The simulator above gives the exact threshold for your situation.

How is the net salary gain calculated in the simulator?

The simulator starts from your taxable gross salary (recovered from the net or taxable net you enter, using the 2026 rules), deducts CNSS (4.48% capped at 6,000 MAD), AMO (2.26%), any CIMR contribution and professional expenses, applies each year's scale to the annual taxable net income, subtracts the family allowance (600 MAD per dependant, 3,600 MAD at most), then brings the tax back to a monthly amount. The gain is the difference in net salary against the 2026 scale, at constant gross salary.

Does the income tax reform change the employee's cost for the employer?

No. Income tax is withheld at source from the employee's salary: the tax cut raises the net pay received without changing the gross salary or employer contributions. The employer does however need to update its payroll settings to apply the new scale and the new professional expenses rate from January 2027.
