Morocco has completed parliamentary approval of the bill to ratify its first income tax treaty with Burundi, bringing the agreement a step closer to entering into force following the exchange of ratification instruments.
Morocco’s Chamber of Councillors (the upper house of Parliament) approved Project Law (Bill) No. 39.25 on 30 June 2026, ratifying the income tax treaty with Burundi.
Signed on 12 May 2025, the agreement aims to establish a cooperative fiscal framework to prevent double taxation and tax evasion, encouraging foreign investment and trade between the two nations.
It will enter into force once the instruments of ratification are exchanged and will apply from 1 January of the year following its entry into force.
Earlier, the bill was approved by the House of Representatives (the lower house) on 8 June 2026.
