MRE Assets Morocco Tax Data Exchange International Reporting

The tax file of Moroccans worldwide is back before Parliament. Deputy Nadia Thami, member of the Progress and Socialism group in the House of Representatives, has questioned Foreign Affairs Minister Nasser Bourita on the possible consequences of draft law no. 76.19, relating to the multilateral agreement between competent authorities concerning the exchange of country-by-country reporting declarations.

This text was examined on Thursday, July 2, 2026, before the commission on foreign affairs, national defense, Islamic affairs, migration and Moroccans residing abroad. For the deputy, the central question is clear: should Morocco move forward with international tax data exchange without sufficient guarantees for MREs?

A sensitive issue for MREs

Nadia Thami recalled that this draft had already been postponed, along with another text, draft law no. 77.19 relating to automatic exchange of information on financial accounts. Both texts had raised strong reservations since their presentation in 2023, due to concerns expressed by many Moroccans established abroad.

The deputy asked the government to explain what has changed since this postponement. She wants to know if new guarantees have been obtained, particularly to prevent information concerning assets, accounts or interests held in Morocco from creating difficulties for MREs in their countries of residence.

The concern is mainly about the concrete effects of these data exchanges. In several European countries, tax residents must declare their accounts, income or assets held abroad. Yet many MREs own a family home in Morocco, a bank account, a small inheritance share or sometimes modest property, without always measuring the reporting obligations in their host country.

For Nadia Thami, the subject should not be reduced to combating tax fraud. It also concerns the protection of Moroccan families living sometimes in contexts marked by stricter migration or tax policies toward foreigners.

The deputy emphasized Morocco’s duty to protect the economic and social interests of its nationals abroad. She recalled that MREs contribute greatly to the country’s influence, its economy and the defense of its interests, which requires, according to her, particular attention to their concerns.

Behind this technical discussion, a very concrete question arises for MREs: how far can information related to their assets in Morocco be shared with foreign administrations, and with what guarantees to avoid tax surprises in countries of residence?
