Fawzi Lekjaa, Minister Delegate to the Government in charge of the budget, confirmed that the tax reform project presented by the government is an important project which will make it possible to achieve tax justice.

Lakjaa explained during his speech in the House of Representatives that the tax reform included a certain number of measures, such as the fight against tax evasion, the generalization of the principle of seizure at source, the revision of the tax on income, corporate tax and value added tax, and strengthening tax control, specifying that tax control has made it possible… To collect more than 17 billion dirhams, an increase of 26.4% compared with to last year.

Lajaa stressed that successive governments, within the framework of financial laws, have gradually lowered the threshold set for exemption from value added tax in public investments, and thus we went from 500 million to 50 million dirhams in recent years.
