Azul Bay Resort Holdings LLC Investigating Claims

Azul Bay Resort Holdings LLC Conservation Easement Investment

Are you concerned about your investment in Azul Bay Resort Holdings LLC? If so, the securities attorneys at The White Law Group may be able to help you.

The White Law Group is investigating potential securities fraud claims against broker dealers or sales agents selling conservation easements (tax shelter land deals) to investors.

These syndicated conservation easements are often sold through independent broker-dealers or directly by attorneys and CPAs who create the syndications, according to industry observers.

Azul Bay Resort Holdings LLC reportedly filed a form D to raise capital from investors in 2017 and the total offering amount sold was purportedly $17,757,306. Sales commissions and fees were estimated at more than 9%, according to SEC filings.

Syndicated conservation easements are private placement investments that promise tax deductions possibly worth four to four-and-a-half times a person’s investment. That means an investor could hypothetically turn a $100,000 investment into $400,000 or more of tax deductions.

The IRS has reportedly seen abuses of this tax provision and it is currently investigating taxpayers who are using questionable appraisals, and taking inappropriately large deductions for easements. Investors who received charitable contribution deductions of more than 2.5 times their investment could possibly be audited, and potentially even hit with a revised tax bill.
