Morocco Announces Comprehensive Wage and Tax Reform Package for 2025
The Moroccan government has unveiled a comprehensive wage and tax reform package set to take effect in 2025, aimed at boosting purchasing power and stimulating domestic consumption amid inflationary pressures.
Starting January 1, 2025, the guaranteed minimum interprofessional wage (SMIG) will increase by 5%, rising from 3,112 dirhams to 3,267.6 dirhams. A parallel increase will be implemented for the agricultural minimum wage (SMAG), taking effect on April 1, 2025.
The reform package includes significant tax system adjustments. Annual incomes below 60,000 dirhams will receive tax reductions of up to 50%, while earnings under 6,000 dirhams will be completely tax-exempt. These measures, incorporated into the 2025 Finance Bill, also extend to retirement and old-age income, with the financial impact estimated at 1.2 billion dirhams.
To combat inflation's effects, the government will introduce a daily "Food Basket Allowance" of 40 dirhams in certain low-wage sectors, providing additional support to employees most affected by rising consumer goods prices.
