The DGI launches a SIMPL remote service for the collection of VAT on digital services.
New Integrated Online Service for VAT Collection on Digital Services
The General Tax Directorate (DGI) has announced the launch of a new online service integrated into the SIMPL platform, specifically designed for the collection of VAT on digital services provided remotely.
This initiative is part of the ongoing modernization of the Moroccan tax administration and aims to enhance the digitalization of tax procedures.
A Tax System for Digital Services
The new online service streamlines the management and declaration of VAT applicable to digital services rendered remotely, particularly those provided by foreign operators to clients located in Morocco.
Accessible via the DGI’s SIMPL online services portal, this platform is intended to simplify administrative processes while improving traceability and tax compliance for the transactions involved.
Integration into the SIMPL Platform
This service is part of the SIMPL online services ecosystem, which is already utilized for the online declaration and payment of various taxes, including VAT, Corporate Tax (IS), and Income Tax (IR).
The platform enables taxpayers to fulfill all their tax obligations online, from registration to revenue declaration, payment, and record-keeping of their transactions.
Simplified Tax Obligations for Affected Operators
The new system imposes several obligations on the relevant digital service providers, including:
- Registration with the tax administration,
- Periodic declaration of the revenue generated in Morocco,
- Payment of the corresponding VAT,
- Maintenance of a detailed register of transactions conducted.
These measures aim to enhance the transparency of digital transactions and ensure greater tax equity among different economic players.
A Key Step in the Digitalization of the Tax Administration
With this new online service, the DGI continues its strategy of digital transformation by modernizing tax management tools and streamlining procedures for taxpayers.
This development is part of a broader movement toward the dematerialization of public services, aimed at improving administrative efficiency, reducing processing times, and strengthening tax oversight in an increasingly digitized economic context.
