Can you please explain the following:

1) Value Tax, what does it mean ? What value? who esablishes it?

2) What is the property rental Tax of 13.50%

3) What is the difference between(2) above and would be required to pay tax on 60% of their generated income at between 22% and 44% depending on the region, in Tangier for example a "buy to let" investor would after 3 years be required to pay 22% on 60% of the generated rental income from his "buy to let" investment property in Morocco.

So investor pays 22% or 44% of 60 % of the genarated Income. Is the investor allowed to offset his/her cost such as mortgage interest, service charges, insurance etc ?.
