Tax audits and accounting inspections
Assistance from the audit notice onwards: preparing documents, attending meetings, drafting reasoned replies to the first and second notification letters.
Practice areas
Tax law
Tax is the core of the firm's practice. It covers the full cycle: securing a transaction before completion, answering a reassessment notice within the statutory deadlines, taking the matter before the appeal commissions and, where necessary, before the administrative court.
What we handle
Tax litigation
Contentious claims, referrals to local commissions and to the national tax appeal commission, proceedings before the administrative courts.
VAT
Territoriality, input tax recovery, exemptions, VAT credit refund claims and related disputes.
Corporate and personal income tax
Taxable result, deductible expenses, loss carry-forwards, capital gains regimes, withholding taxes and double tax treaties.
Real estate and private wealth taxation
Sales of property and of shares in property-rich companies, registration duties, family transfers.
Transactions and restructurings
Mergers, partial asset contributions, business sales: review of tax consequences and available favourable regimes.
Regularisation and dealings with the authorities
Information requests, voluntary disclosures, payment schedules and settlements where a negotiated route is preferable.
Who we act for
Companies and groups
Moroccan companies, subsidiaries of foreign groups and growing businesses facing an audit or a complex transaction.
Executives and shareholders
Remuneration, current accounts, share disposals, personal tax exposure of directors.
Individuals and families
Rental income, real estate capital gains, residents and non-residents, wealth transfer.
A field governed by deadlines
In tax matters a missed deadline forfeits a right, however strong the underlying case. As soon as an audit notice or a reassessment arrives, the timeline must be calculated immediately. Early instruction preserves every available remedy.
