Morocco’s New E-Invoicing Initiative for 2026

Morocco is taking a significant step towards modernizing its tax compliance system with the launch of an e-invoicing initiative set for 2026. Here’s a breakdown of the project: 

1. Key Drivers and Leadership

The initiative is led by the General Directorate of Taxes (⁠DGI) to enhance efficiency and transparency. 

xHub, a Moroccan software engineering firm, has been selected as the technological partner.

 2. Timeline and Milestones 

Start Date: October 2024. 

Target Completion: Fully operational system by October 2025. 

Pilot Phase: Scheduled for 2026, ensuring a smooth transition during the official launch.

3. Proposed E-Invoicing Models 

Operational Model: Allows businesses to exchange invoices freely, with tax authority checks conducted later. 

Clearance Model: Requires invoices to be validated by the tax authority before they are issued. 

The DGI is in the process of finalizing the most suitable model.

4. Technological Framework 

Microservices Architecture: Ensures flexibility and scalability to meet evolving tax requirements. 

Global Standards: Integration of UBL and CII formats enables international compliance and seamless cross-border invoicing.

5. Promotion of Electronic Signatures 

The initiative encourages the widespread adoption of electronic signatures to enhance invoice authenticity, compliance, and security.

6. Key Benefits of the Initiative 

Simplified Processes: Streamlines invoice management for businesses. 

Enhanced Security: Reduces risks associated with traditional paper-based systems. 

Improved Tax Oversight: Boosts traceability and control over business transactions.

Morocco’s e-invoicing initiative represents a transformative step in its digital journey, paving the way for a more efficient, secure, and globally compatible tax compliance system.
