On June 1, 2026, Morocco's General Tax Directorate (DGI) activated a new digital platform to collect Value Added Tax (VAT) on cross-border digital services. This reform requires foreign digital service providers, such as streaming platforms and online software vendors, to register and remit VAT on sales to Moroccan consumers.
The initiative aligns with global trends, including OECD guidelines on taxing the digital economy. According to the DGI, the platform aims to simplify compliance for non-resident companies while ensuring fair competition with local businesses. The standard VAT rate in Morocco is 20%.
Experts note that this move could generate significant revenue for Morocco, though exact projections were not provided. The DGI has published a list of covered services, including digital advertising, cloud computing, and e-books.
