Morocco has introduced a new VAT regime for non‑resident digital service providers, requiring quarterly registration, reporting and payment via a dedicated electronic platform effective 11 June 2026. The 20 % VAT rate applies to B2C digital services, with detailed transaction‑level reporting mandated within 30 days of each quarter. B2B digital services remain nil‑rated for foreign suppliers, with reverse charge applied by Moroccan VAT‑registered businesses.
