Mauritius as a Jurisdiction
Why incorporate in Mauritius?
Mauritius is a respected International Financial Centre: politically stable, with a hybrid legal system and final appeal to the UK Privy Council, a competitive tax regime and preferential access to Africa and Asia through COMESA, SADC and the Commonwealth.
How long does it take to incorporate a company?
A company can typically be incorporated and operational in around three days, once the required due diligence and know-your-customer checks are complete.
What is the tax environment?
A 15% headline corporate tax rate, no capital gains tax, no dividend withholding tax, no inheritance or estate duty and no foreign exchange control, supported by a network of 40+ double taxation treaties. The right structure depends on your circumstances, which our team can review with you.
