The vote followed examination of 290 amendments. The report includes an increase from MAD 80,000 to MAD 100,000 in the annual turnover threshold above which self-employed entrepreneurs face withholding tax, with the rate reduced from 30% to 20%.
This is committee approval. The bill must continue through parliament; the provisions are not yet enacted law.
2027 budget: majority proposes 40% corporate tax for cement and telecom firms

The original bill already proposes this rate for hydrocarbon importers and distributors meeting the threshold. The amendment would therefore add two sectors to the proposed arrangement.
Its sponsors cite tax fairness and these businesses’ profits. Médias24 reports that amendments are scheduled for a vote on 11 November. The measure remains a proposal subject to parliamentary scrutiny, not an enacted applicable rate.

The proposal distinguishes MAD 945 million for territorial health group operations, MAD 860.70 million in investment payment appropriations and MAD 1.022 billion in commitment appropriations. Some payments are scheduled for 2028: these categories do not describe expenditure already executed.
The minister links the funding to primary care, hospitals and patient pathways. He also plans a shared medical record and a national health identifier. Approval of the appropriations and delivery of these services remain to be tracked.

Opposition groups would submit their proposals separately. These preparations establish neither completed submission nor adoption of the budget.
The 2027 budget proposal allocates MAD 1.088 billion to Anapec, 53% above the MAD 710.7 million for 2026, according to sector figures reported by Hespress and Madar21 on 6 November.

Employment programme allocations would rise from MAD 390 million to MAD 640 million. The agency’s investment budget would increase from MAD 10 million to MAD 60 million, with operating expenditure reaching MAD 379.6 million.
The ministry’s planned reorganisation includes three directorates covering social dialogue, labour inspection, and communication and digital transformation. The figures and changes remain proposals; the sources do not establish final approval or jobs actually created.
