The will to achieve this objective was reflected in 2010 by the
introduction of an integrated and secure tax marking system that was
supplied and set up by a designated operator through an international
tender, and which enabled the reduction of the staff allocated to the
(TIC) control, while improving the fiscal performance of these taxes, as
well as the fight against fraud and smuggling.
The agreement signed with the current provider is expiring, December
31st 2019. The (ADII) chose, with a view to ensure transparency and
competition between competitors, to issue an invitation to tender
approving a new supplyer for the provision, installation and
commissioning of an integrated and a secure marking system to control
some goods subject to the (TIC).
It is within this framework that on October 22nd 2019, the (ADII) and
the selected service provider "SICPA SA" signed a new agreement which
provides for investments and innovative features that focus on the areas
listed below :
- The creation of local added value by producing national tax marks;
- The setting up of a center of excellence, expertise and
research in Morocco that will promote the transfer of expertise at the
local level and provide an opportunity to open up to African markets;
- The launch of new monitoring and tracking technologies such as
the use of QR codes and alphanumeric HRC codes that allow operators and
consumers to check the authenticity of goods;
- An alternative based on higher technological requirements
with a significant reduction in tax mark costs of around 50% for
manufactured tobacco, 35% for beer and 20% for other products.
