Belgium-Morocco Double Taxation: How to Avoid Paying Taxes Twice in 2026
The Belgium-Morocco tax treaty of 4 May 1972 (in force since 1977) allocates taxing rights between the two countries to prevent double taxation. An MRE residing in Belgium is taxed on their worldwide income in Belgium but benefits from an exemption or tax credit for income already taxed in Morocco. Form 276 Conv is the key to activating this protection.

Do I need to declare my Moroccan income in France?
Yes, if you are a French tax resident (more than 183 days per year), you must declare all worldwide income, including Moroccan-source income. The France-Morocco convention of 1970 provides mechanisms to avoid double taxation: tax credit or exemption depending on the type of income.
How do I send money to Morocco from France at the best rate?
In April 2026, Wise offers the most competitive rate (fees ~0.5% + €0.50 fixed). For €500 sent, you get around 200 MAD more than with a standard bank transfer. Our calculator compares Wise, Western Union, and banks in real time.
Can I keep my Moroccan bank account while living in France?
Yes. As an MRE, you can open a convertible dirham account (CDC) or foreign currency account (CDE) at any Moroccan bank. These accounts allow free transfers to and from abroad and are exempt from foreign exchange controls.
How do I handle a Moroccan inheritance from France?
Moroccan succession is governed by the Moudawana (Moroccan family law), even if you live in France. A Moroccan notary or lawyer is essential to establish the inheritance deed, settle any capital gains tax, and transfer assets. The legal deadline for MRE is 1 year.
Is my French pension taxable in Morocco?
No. Under the France-Morocco convention, pensions paid by France are taxable only in France. However, if you become a Moroccan tax resident, your pension will be exempt from income tax if you repatriate it in dirhams through the Moroccan banking system.
