“ Working on foreign productions is the best school you could imagine. Having gone through all the levels of work in production enabled me to understand what is film making is about, and triggered my passion for the story telling. Every job I take, whether as a producer, executive or service company, becomes my job. My involvement is the same. My long track record on foreign and local filming has taught me how to work with the team to solve issues, find different alternatives, how to reschedule, sometimes at the last minute, how to get the most from our budget, or even how to narrow the camera angle to get the biggest impact from the extras we have available.” - Khadija Alami -

K Films Banking Memo

The Moroccan dirham is a non-convertible currency. The US Dollar, for example,

is a convertible currency. This means that there are barriers to buying foreign

currency with dirhams.

One of the fiscal advantages Morocco offers to foreign productions taking place

in Morocco is to open a bank account in convertible currency. The benefits of this

are:

• VAT exemption on purchases above 5,000 dirhams ($500) made by check

or wire

• No withholding tax

• No fringes on crew

• Ease of returning remaining funds

The bank account will be opened in the name of the entity created for the project

and to whom the shooting permit is issued (usually the foreign LLC created for

the project).

You will assign A and B signatories for this account at your discretion.

In order to open this account we need:

• Certificate of incorporation of a private limited company

• Memorandum and articles of association

• Memorandum of association of the company defining the chairman

• Memorandum of the association of the company where the chairman

gives signature for Moroccan account to:

– Name A passport number

– Name B passport number

• Copy of passports of A and B signatories

These documents need to be translated to French and certified by the Moroccan

consulate.

Once the bank account is opened we will apply for VAT free status. The whole

process takes up to two weeks.

The increasing number of foreign productions has effectively helped train local technicians, which means that foreign shoots need only to bring department heads. A few years ago, the majority of the crew had to be brought in from abroad, but now we often only have a foreign head of department and the rest of the crew is locally recruited.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”K Films Travel Memo Morocco” tab_id=”1574102027946-db73a506-c858″][vc_column_text]K Films leads the way in the promotion of film and television production in Morocco, and was instrumental in discussions with the Moroccan Cinema center (CCM) on the 20% cash rebate, for international film and television productions, entered into force in October 2017.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1574084039449{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;}”][vc_column]
