Abstract

What is the optimal tax burden rate that maximizes economic growth
in Morocco? To tackle this matter, this article aims to model the 
optimal tax rate in Morocco during the period 2000-2019, by using 
Scully's model. The results of the estimation show that tax revenue 
around 23.4 percent of GDP maximizes the growth rate. It is very 
lower than the actual applied rate (27%). This situation reveals that 
Morocco is situated in the prohibitive side of Barro's curve and the 
taxation is “unnecessary" and even degrading for growth and 
competitiveness.
