Questions Fréquemment Posées

What is the new Morocco Offshoring Offer circular and when does it take effect?

Per Morocco World News and Outsource Accelerator, Morocco's government published the operational circular deploying the new Morocco Offshoring Offer, taking retroactive effect from 1 July 2025 as the operational rollout of the offshoring sector-contract programme. Per the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the circular covers five priority segments: IT Outsourcing (ITO), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), Engineering Services Outsourcing (ESO) and Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO). Its tax incentives are applicable from 1 July 2025 to 31 December 2030, giving buyers a codified five-and-a-half-year horizon on the tax component of their delivery cost.

What tax, employment and administrative incentives does the circular provide?

Per the Ministry of Industry and Trade as reported by Outsource Accelerator, the tax incentives include a 20 percent cap on taxable gross income, reduced to 10 percent for secondary platforms in Fes, Oujda and Tetouan, applicable from 1 July 2025 to 31 December 2030, and a corporate-tax state contribution covering up to 56 percent of the amount due. Employment and training incentives are 17 percent of taxable gross income per new permanent hire and 3.5 percent for training, over five years. Installation requests are processed within 5 working days, or 25 days when a Technical Offshoring Committee review is required.

What are Morocco's stated sectoral targets under the offshoring programme?

Per Morocco World News and Outsource Accelerator reporting on the Ministry's figures, the targets are 130,000 additional stable direct jobs overall, with 50,000 by 2026, and MAD 40 billion (approximately US$4 billion) in revenue, with MAD 25 billion (approximately US$2.5 billion) targeted in 2026. Per the Ministry, IT outsourcing now represents 40.3 percent of export revenue versus 37.4 percent for CRM, indicating a rebalancing toward higher-value ITO and away from a historical CRM concentration.

How should a buyer read a country's incentive framework as procurement due diligence?

Along four dimensions. Cost durability: how long is the incentive codified for, versus the buyer's contract horizon? Breadth of covered sectors: does the framework treat outsourcing as a portfolio, so scope evolution is absorbed under the same country-level baseline? Hiring and training subsidies as a talent-pipeline signal: what does the state's own subsidy tell the local academic and vocational ecosystem about planning capacity? Administrative velocity: is there a published SLA on the state itself for the administrative events that will happen during a scale-up? Applied to Morocco's 2026 circular, the answers are 31 December 2030, five sectors (ITO, CRM, BPO, ESO, KPO), 17 percent per hire and 3.5 percent training over five years, and 5 working days or 25 days with Committee review.

What is the 6-point buyer framework for reading incentive frameworks in 2026?

One, test cost durability against the engagement horizon: read the circular's 2030 endpoint against your 3-to-5-year contract. Two, confirm your scope maps to one of the covered sectors — ITO, CRM, BPO, ESO or KPO — including hybrid work. Three, read the 17 percent per hire and 3.5 percent training incentives over five years as a country-level pipeline signal, then ask the partner for their own 36-month hiring and training plan mapped to your profile mix. Four, understand which administrative interactions on a scale-up event actually fall inside the 5-working-day or 25-day timelines. Five, stress-test capacity absorption against the destination's 130,000-job and MAD 40 billion national plan. Six, cross-check the 40.3 percent ITO / 37.4 percent CRM sectoral mix against your scope for shortlist depth.
