ICE : Identifiant Commun de l’Entreprise
Morocco's common business identifier, mandatory on official documents since July 2016
Market position
The Identifiant Commun de l'Entreprise (ICE) is a single identifier for a Moroccan business, shared across administrations. The Direction Générale des Impôts led the project and hosts its database, working with OMPIC, the CNSS and other bodies, and OMPIC announced the ICE as mandatory from 1 July 2016. Existing businesses can obtain their ICE on www.ice.gov.ma, and OMPIC's company records show it next to the RC number.
Morocco-specific note
Put your ICE on your invoices: Hespress reported in July 2025 that the tax administration accepts only invoices that carry it. E-invoicing is due to start in phases from late 2026, beginning with large companies and suppliers to the public sector (Hespress, August 2026), so choose invoicing software that stores your ICE and your clients' ICE numbers.

Why this matters for Morocco trades
The DGI issues the identifiant fiscal (IF), runs SIMPL for TVA, IS and salary declarations, and is preparing e-invoicing in phases from late 2026, large companies and public-sector suppliers first (Hespress, August 2026). Under Décret n° 2-94-223, the Ministère de l’Équipement et de l’Eau qualifies and classifies BTP firms, and a firm’s class sets the maximum contract amount it can bid for; each tender file states the sector, qualification and class it requires. Moroccan press reported in January 2025 that Tous Risques Chantier and RC décennale insurance had become mandatory, and Wafa Assurance says its décennale cover depends on the works being checked by an approved technical-control body. Employers declare salaries and pay contributions through the CNSS Damancom portal, and public tender rules ask bidders for a CNSS certificate issued within the last year; the ICE has been mandatory on official documents since 1 July 2016, and invoices without it can be rejected by the tax administration, per Hespress.
Moroccan construction and trades software selection is shaped by the DGI’s planned electronic invoicing (due to start in phases from late 2026 with large companies and public-sector suppliers, according to Hespress, with the technical rules not yet published in August 2026), Tous Risques Chantier and RC décennale insurance (reported as mandatory since January 2025), TVA and mandatory invoice mentions such as the ICE, CNSS salary declarations and contributions through Damancom, and the qualification and classification of BTP firms by the Ministère de l’Équipement et de l’Eau for public tenders.
