Not sure that they will succeed, but only trying would bother you. If you want to continue the buying process, I would suggest the following strategy: I) Complete the AML, even it is silly as you say. 2) Value the Bin Ennakhil at the minimum or a little bit more than requested by the tax authorities in Morocco. There is a "referentiel des prix de l'immobilier" for all the main cities (on internet but I can provide it for you and your lawyers). The value in this Palmeraie area is 1 000 dirhams / sq. m. land (45 700 000 dirhams) and 10 000 dirhams / sq. m. built up area, not including the basements and utilities (around 30 000 000 dirhams). A total value of 8 million euros (86 800 000 dirhams) is more than ten percent over the tax valuation. Nothing can happen, check this please with your Moroccan lawyer / accountant. Pamur sells the property to Haze Trust for this price. Follow the capital gain tax calculation with a very low cost estimation of 30 million dirhams (probably only a few invoices remaining after so many years), the amount of taxes would not exceed: (86 800 000 - 30 000 000) x 0,31 = 17 608 000 dirhams. Additionally, Haze Trust has to pay the registration fees. About 6 million dirhams. At the same time, Haze Trust buys Pamur for 21 million euros (the former 23 less 2 for the taxes and fees in Morocco). After 1, 2, 3 and 4 years, Pamur owned by the Haze Trust, recovers 25% per annum of the sale price less taxes. 3) Check this way please. The most difficult will be to negotiate another price reduction of 2 million euros but if you agree with this strategy, I will push strongly. 4) Coming back to the capital gain taxes of 17 608 000 dirhams. I offer to manage the tax declaration and reduce the amount to be paid. If this happens, we can discuss about a success fee.
