Morocco Vehicle Tax (TVM) 2026: rates, payment and exemptions

Updated on May 11, 202611 min read

Vehicle Tax (TVM), successor to the former 'vignette', is a mandatory annual tax on every Morocco-registered vehicle. Established by the General Tax Code (Article 179), it is owed by the owner (individual or corporate) on January 1 each year and must be paid **before January 31, 2026** to avoid penalties. Amount depends on two parameters: **fiscal power** (CV) and **fuel type** (petrol or diesel), with a 50% surcharge for vehicles over 15 years old. Since 2018, TVM is fully digitalized: payment online on tax.gov.ma, at Barid Al-Maghrib branches, or via Total and Afriquia stations partnering with DGI.

Old vehicle surcharge

If your vehicle is over 15 years old (first registration date), TVM is increased by **+50%**. Example: a 9 CV petrol sedan from 2009 pays 1,400 × 1.5 = 2,100 MAD.

2. Calculate your vehicle's fiscal power

Fiscal power (CV) is not the actual engine power. It's calculated using the Moroccan simplified fiscal formula: CV = (displacement in cm³ / 200) + (1 if petrol, 0.7 if diesel). Example Dacia Logan 1.5 dCi (1,461 cm³ diesel): CV = 1,461/200 + 0.7 = 8 CV → Diesel TVM 8 CV = 1,800 MAD/year.

For precise fiscal power, check your **vehicle registration card (Carte Grise)**: the 'CV' mention is in the technical characteristics frame (P.6 field).
