Why a company

Developing without a company caps out fast.

Code is protected

Computer programs are intellectual creations protected by copyright (law 2-00, article 3): your company holds the rights assigned in writing.

0% VAT on exports

Services exploited or used outside Morocco are VAT-exempt with the right to deduct input VAT (2026 Tax Code, article 92-I-1°).

§

Assets protected

The SARL separates your personal assets from client projects: a delivery dispute never reaches your home.

%

Corporate clients

Large accounts require RC, ICE and tax certificates before referencing a service provider.

Regulations

What the law provides for web development.

The activity is free, but code ownership (law 2-00), export VAT and .ma domain names (ANRT) have their own precise rules. Fact sheet verified by our legal team against the official 2026 texts.

Frequently asked questions

Everything we get asked about web development.

Who owns the code I develop for a client?

By default, the author is the first holder of moral and economic rights (law 2-00, article 31). Economic rights are assignable, but only in writing: the contract can limit the assignment by rights, purposes, duration, territory and means of exploitation (articles 39 to 42). Without a written clause, your client does not own what they think they own. Our contract templates settle this.

Can I patent my software in Morocco?

No: computer programs as such are excluded from patentability (law 17-97, articles 23 to 25, cited by OMPIC). Protection goes through the copyright of law 2-00, trade secrets and well-drafted contracts. An OMPIC trademark filing does protect your name and brand.

Are my services for foreign clients VAT-exempt?

Yes, if the service is exploited or used outside Moroccan territory: exemption with deduction right (2026 Tax Code, article 92-I-1°), backed by the invoice in the foreign client's name and proof of payment in foreign currency. Note: no specific corporate tax exemption for exported IT services exists in 2026; ordinary corporate tax applies.

How do I secure the .ma for my agency or clients?

Registration goes through a registrar declared with the ANRT, on a first come first served basis (decision ANRT/DG/02/2024). The holder must have an administrative contact in Morocco, registration lasts up to 5 years, and reselling domain names is strictly prohibited. Conflicts with protected trademarks go through an alternative dispute resolution procedure or the courts.

Freelance or company for development work?

The auto-entrepreneur works solo within the regime's ceilings, but a company quickly becomes necessary: referencing with large accounts, hiring, export VAT with deduction right, and clean assignment of code rights. The SARL AU is created 3 business days after filing* and grows with you.
