Lagga reveals new tax and customs measures to support Moroccan artists

Fawzi Laggaa, Minister Delegate to the Minister of Economy and Finance in charge of the budget, unveiled a set of fiscal and social measures and customs facilities aimed at artists, at a time of increasing public debate on ways to support cultural and creative industries in Morocco. The context of the demands of the art sector in Morocco This announcement comes against the backdrop of repeated demands from actors in the artistic sector to improve the social and tax protection of artists, a large part of whom work without professional stability or adequate health coverage, amid a renewed national debate on the “statute of the artist.” The statements included references to customs facilities that may benefit artists in importing artistic and technical equipment, as well as tax and social measures that are part of a broader government effort to legalize the status of artistic and creative professions. Morocco as a destination for cultural industries This trend is part of a growing Moroccan path to consolidate its position as a destination for cultural and film industries, a path reinforced by the Kingdom's hosting of several major international productions in recent years.
