In 2026, over **500,000 Moroccans** operate under this simplified regime, which enables launching a professional activity without the administrative burdens of a traditional company. Whether you're a freelance developer in Casablanca, an artisan in Marrakech, or a consultant in Rabat, this guide walks you through every financial aspect of your business. ## What Is the Auto-Entrepreneur Status in Morocco? The auto-entrepreneur status is a simplified legal framework established by Law 114-13, designed for individuals engaged in industrial, commercial, or artisanal activities, or providing services. It is managed by the **National Registry of Auto-Entrepreneurs (RNAE)** under Barid Al-Maghrib. ### Eligibility Requirements - **Nationality**: Moroccan or foreign resident under specific conditions - **Activity**: Must be listed in the eligible activities catalog - **Annual turnover**: Must not exceed MAD 500,000 for commercial, industrial, and artisanal activities, or MAD 200,000 for services - **Age**: Must be 18 or older ### Key Advantages - Free registration, 100% online via the RNAE portal - No minimum share capital required - Ultra-simplified accounting: a simple revenue ledger suffices - Access to mandatory health insurance (AMO) - Legal invoicing capability ## Taxation: What You Need to Know in 2026 One of the most attractive features of the auto-entrepreneur status is its **favorable tax regime**. Unlike companies subject to corporate tax or professional income tax, auto-entrepreneurs benefit from a simple flat-rate system. ### Tax Rates - **1% of turnover** for commercial, industrial, and artisanal activities - **2% of turnover** for service providers These rates apply to gross collected revenue with no expense deductions. Payments are made **quarterly** through Barid Al-Maghrib or online. ### Mandatory Declarations Auto-entrepreneurs must file a **quarterly turnover declaration**, even when turnover is zero. Failure to comply for four consecutive quarters leads to automatic deregistration. > **Aslan Tip**: Use the Aslan app to track your collections in real time and prepare your quarterly declarations stress-free.
