Mauritius offers tax advantages to encourage foreign investment while complying with OECD standards.
Mauritius’ taxation has been simplified to the extreme with a single rate of 15%, with no ceiling, known as Flat Tax. As a result, you can never pay more than 15% tax and the same income can never be taxed twice.
Value Added Tax VAT, here called VAT (Value Added Tax) is also at a rate of 15%.
In order to benefit from tax advantages in Mauritius, one must be a tax resident. The only two possibilities to be a tax resident in Mauritius are to obtain Mauritian nationality or to obtain a residence permit.
The Republic of Mauritius has entered into agreements with the French Republic for the avoidance of double taxation. Thus, the same income can only be taxed once in either jurisdiction.
In Mauritius, salary income and pensions are directly deducted at source and therefore paid by the employer.
The employer provides the employee with an EDF (Employee Declaration Form) on which the non-wage income (dividends, bank interest, etc.) is recorded so that the employer can calculate the amount of taxation.
The employee will submit his declaration to the MRA “Mauritius Revenue Authority” .
The inome tax return is very simple in Mauritius, however it is entirely in English. If you are unfamiliar with this language, it may be advisable to have the assistance of an accountant the first time.
