Change in Income Tax Tables and Allowances

On October 19, 2024, Morocco’s Ministry of Finance introduced the 2025 draft Finance Law (Projet Loi de Finances, PLF), proposing several significant payroll-related measures:

Internship Allowance Exemption

• Private-sector interns will benefit from a 12-month exemption on their allowances.
• For trainees transitioning to indefinite employment, a monthly salary cap of MAD 10,000 will qualify for the exemption during this period, subject to conditions outlined in subsection 16 of Article 57.

Revised Income Tax Brackets

• The annual income tax exemption threshold will increase from MAD 30,000 to MAD 40,000.
• Higher income tax brackets will be adjusted, including a reduction in the top tax rate from 38% to 37%.

Enhanced Family Allowance Deduction

• The deduction per dependent will increase from MAD 360 to MAD 500, with a maximum allowable deduction of MAD 3,000.

Supplementary Pension Exemptions

• Pensions will be income tax-exempt if the contract duration is at least eight years and contributions have not been previously deducted from taxable income.
• The eight-year requirement is waived in cases of the insured’s death or disability.

Note: The above changes have not been approved by the Morocco authority. Once it is approved it will be effective from January 2025.
