Morocco’s General Directorate of Taxes has launched a large-scale campaign targeting corporate tax evasion across Casablanca, Tangier and Rabat.
The operations have targeted dozens of limited liability companies, with managers being notified of potential personal liability for tax debts following indicators of suspected tax evasion practices.
Audits uncovered multiple irregularities, including inaccurate invoicing, fictitious accounting, concealment of financial records and the use of company funds for personal purposes.
These violations resulted in financial penalties ranging from 5,000 to 50,000 dirhams, along with possible joint liability for company managers.
Inspectors also identified companies reporting ongoing losses despite apparent activity, as well as transactions involving inactive or dissolved entities.
Authorities emphasized that limited liability status does not exempt managers from legal responsibility, which may include civil or criminal consequences.
Prior to enforcement, tax authorities conducted preventive actions including tax return reviews, expense checks and surprise inspections.
