Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Life insurance in Safi

Life insurance: savings or protection?

Both. In Morocco the term 'life insurance' covers: 1) retirement-savings contracts (PER type) building capital for retirement; 2) death-cover contracts paying capital to beneficiaries on death. A single contract often combines both (savings + death).

What return on a dirham life insurance?

Dirham funds currently yield 2.8-4.2% net of management fees, with capital guarantee. Unit-linked funds (equities, bonds, real estate) offer higher potential returns (5-9%) but without capital guarantee. A 60/40 mix (dirham/unit-linked) is often recommended for the long term.

Tax benefits of life insurance in Morocco?

Contributions are deductible from taxable income up to 10% of net taxable income (capped at MAD 50,000/year for retirement plans). At withdrawal (after 8 years minimum), capital is taxed at a flat 15% (vs progressive up to 38%). Upon death, capital transferred to beneficiaries is exempt from inheritance duties up to MAD 500,000 per beneficiary.

Can I withdraw savings before maturity?

Yes, through partial or full surrender. However, taxation is less favourable before 8 years (higher flat withholding). Retirement contracts often lock funds until retirement age (55-60) except for force majeure (disability, death, layoff).

Life insurance in Safi: are rates different from elsewhere?

Yes, slightly. In Safi, the observed average premium is MAD 2,500-4,000/year (national benchmark: MAD 3.600/year). Insurers adjust prices according to local claims, traffic density and insured profiles. Compare at least 3 quotes to optimise.
