Payroll in Morocco: outsource it, or run it yourself with software
Levia HR is payroll software, not a payroll company. Your HR team, or the accounting firm you already work with, runs payroll in it: CNSS, AMO, IR and CIMR are computed in dirhams, and payslips come out ready to hand over.
Moroccan contributions, applied for you
CNSS (4.48% employee, 8.98% employer, on the first 6,000 MAD a month), AMO (2.26% / 4.11%), family allowances, training tax and CIMR complementary pension.
IR with the 2023 expense rule
Progressive IR brackets, after the flat deduction for professional expenses: 35% up to 78,000 MAD a year, then 25% capped at 35,000 MAD, plus the family deduction.
Your accountant can work in it with you
Invite your accounting firm with a payroll role: they prepare and check the run, someone at your company validates it. Nobody validates their own work.
Payroll fed by the rest of HR
Leave, time tracking and expense claims flow into the payslip, so the month is not re-typed from three spreadsheets.
Payroll company or payroll software: which one do you need?
A payroll company, often an accounting firm, runs payroll for you: you send the month’s changes, they send back payslips and filings. It suits a business with nobody in-house to own payroll. The trade-off is control: every correction goes through their calendar, and your employee data lives in their tools.
Payroll software keeps payroll in-house: corrections the same day, leave and time data already in the system, and a history you own. It needs someone to own the monthly run, your HR team or your accounting firm working in your account. Levia HR is that software. It does not file on your behalf: it produces the monthly CNSS statement to check, and the e-BDS filing is made on the CNSS portal.
Frequently asked questions
Is Levia HR a payroll company in Morocco?
No. Levia HR is payroll software. You, or the accounting firm you choose, run payroll in it. If you want payroll fully outsourced, a local firm can run it for you, in Levia HR or in its own tools.
Should I outsource payroll or run it in-house?
Outsource if nobody at your company can own a monthly payroll run. Run it in-house if you want same-day corrections and your HR data in one place. Many companies do both: their accountant works in their account.
Which contributions are handled?
CNSS (4.48% employee / 8.98% employer, on the first 6,000 MAD a month), AMO (2.26% / 4.11%), family allowances (6.40%), professional training tax (1.6%) and CIMR complementary pension.
How is IR computed?
By progressive brackets, after the flat deduction for professional expenses (35% of gross taxable income up to 78,000 MAD a year, 25% above, capped at 35,000 MAD) and the family deduction.
Does Levia HR file the CNSS declaration?
It produces the monthly CNSS statement from validated payslips, to check before filing. The e-BDS filing is then submitted on the CNSS portal, by you or your accountant.
