Morocco Launches Crackdown on 250,000 Inactive Companies in Tax Fraud Sweep

The general tax department is conducting a vast operation targeting companies that are no longer active and have not submitted tax declarations, in some cases for many years.

This operation targets some 250,000 "dormant" companies that have established their legal headquarters with domiciliation companies, without conducting commercial activities for a long period.

The campaign is part of the fight against tax fraud, according to Assabah, specifying that it also aims to update the database on active companies that truly contribute to national economic development.

This operation also aims to strengthen transparency and combat the creation of shell companies for tax evasion and money laundering purposes.

Furthermore, this measure is part of a vast tax reform project, which emphasizes the digitization of transactions and intensification of controls. The objective is to improve resource mobilization and ensure tax fairness among economic actors.
