Hi all! I am moving to Rabat for employment. Can anyone explain the income tax system to me, please?

Hi bmr549!

What about an introduction?

Howdy, my wife set this up for me, don't really know much about the site yet, specifically how much of my profile is available.
That being said, my name is Brady and I will be in Rabat in two days. My current contract is for two years and my wife and son may join me in 6 to 12 months depending on many factors.
The tax structure of Morocco is concerning me greatly. 20-38% seems VERY steep, especially on the 38% side.
Oh yeah, I am a golfer. How's the golf over there, and how much does it really cost to play? I saw the golf course in Rabat online, but it is hard to believe a full playing membership is only about 800 American dollars there. Thanks in advance!

Okay, I posted the introduction quite a while ago.  Can anyone answer my tax question.  I've received several answers, more than one on both sides of the taxation coin.  Can anyone give me a definitive answer?  Thanks in advance!

VERY steep  .. why dont try to show up in Europe. :-)

tax is 38% in UK, 42-51% in Netherlands.



General Income Tax: This tax is applied to the overall annual

net income. Annual taxable income above 120,000 MAD will be subject to a 42% tax rate.

You can ask your employer to give your net income as this is common question  to ask in morocco.  Most Moroccans will ask only for net income.

Good Luck ..
