Morocco is moving toward a mandatory electronic invoicing system in 2026, with a centralized CTC model that will validate invoices in real time via the DGI platform. The reform will roll out progressively, starting with B2B transactions for large companies and later expanding to SMEs and B2C. The UBL format will be the required structured data standard, and invoices must include an electronic signature before validation.

Key Takeaways
The UBL (Universal Business Language) format will be the mandatory structured electronic format for all e-invoices.
B2B e-invoicing is expected to start in 2026, initially targeting large companies and then gradually expanding to SMEs.
Invoices must include an electronic signature and be transmitted to the DGI platform, where they will undergo real-time validation of format, signature and mandatory data before being forwarded to the buyer.
B2C transactions are not part of the initial 2026 rollout but may be added in later phases.
In later phases, accredited Certified Service Providers will act as private operators authorized to support invoice clearance and transmission, supplementing the DGI platform.
