For over a decade now, Mauritius has been a thriving location for the provision of global business services (offshore services). The island boasts of a raft of modern and flexible legislation to cater for the needs of multinationals, high net worth individuals, international traders amongst others.

Mauritius is the ideal location for international tax planning with a growing network of tax treaties, no withholding tax on dividends, interests and royalties. There are no withholding tax on dividends, interests and royalties paid to non-residents, no capital gains tax on the disposal of shares/securities and no registration and stamp duties on offshore activities. In addition, there are no inheritance or death duties, gift and wealth taxes.
