Mauritius has established itself as a recognised International Financial Centre, offering international investors and businesses a combination of regulatory oversight, professional expertise, international connectivity and an extensive network of Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAAs).
With 45 tax treaties in force, including a partial agreement with Australia, Mauritius provides opportunities for qualifying investors to structure cross-border investments within an established international tax framework.
DTAAs are bilateral agreements designed to prevent or alleviate double taxation, allocate taxing rights between contracting states and provide greater certainty for cross-border business and investment.
Depending on the treaty and the circumstances, qualifying investors may benefit from reduced withholding taxes on dividends, interest and royalties.
