The current crisis in Morocco has certainly aggravated the overall budget deficit, mainly because of the decline in tax revenues, the increase in public spending induced by the Covid-19, and the combined effects of the poor cereal harvest and the downturn in the global economy, which is certainly well felt. This crisis is an opportunity to improve the efficiency and equity of the Moroccan tax system and to capitalize on the remarkable momentum of solidarity caused by this pandemic. To this end, it is proposed, first, to mobilize and enhance the fiscal potential, then to establish solidarity taxes, and finally, to extend medical coverage and establish a pension system for the self-employed.
