Lekjaa's budget presentation includes proposed 40% tax rate for large fuel companies

The 2027 finance bill presented to Parliament by Fouzi Lekjaa on 23 October 2026 proposes raising corporate tax from 35% to 40% for large fuel importers or distributors. The threshold is annual net profit of at least 100 million dirhams, according to Madar21 and Le Matin.

The proposal targets importing or distributing companies meeting that profit threshold, so it would not automatically cover every filling station. It concerns the corporate income tax rate, rather than a new charge on each litre sold.

These provisions remain part of a bill before Parliament and do not establish that the higher rate has taken effect. Al Ayam24 notes that increasing tax on profits does not itself set out a mechanism to lower consumer fuel prices.
