MAURITIUS - OFFSHORE SECTOR
The offshore international financial services centre has now been in operation for a decade. The positioning of the island as a business hub to service the region along with its natural comparative advantages of geography and time zone, as well as its highly qualified human resource base and the network of tax treaties continue to be at the basis of the success of that sector.
Mauritius has, as a tax planning jurisdiction focused on the development of its Global Business sector (formerly known as the offshore sector) on the use of its growing network of Double Taxation Avoidance Treaties (DTAs). The expanding network of these DTAs reinforces the seriousness of Mauritius as a tax efficient jurisdiction for structuring investment abroad in the Global Business sector. Mauritius has been used as a route for investment into emerging regions such as India, China and Pakistan.
Mauritius has double tax treaties with the following countries:
Belgium, Botswana China,Croatia Cyprus, France,Germany, India, Indonesia, Lesotho, Luxembourg Madagascar, Malaysia, Namibia, Nepal, Oman, Pakistan, Mozambique, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Senegal, South Africa, Swaziland, Sweden, , Thailand,
