FAQ

Common questions

What is the corporate tax rate for a Global Business Company (GBC)? +
GBCs are subject to a standard corporate tax rate of 15%. However, they can benefit from an 80% partial exemption on specific foreign-source income (like dividends and interest), resulting in a maximum effective tax rate of 3%, provided substance requirements are met.
Do I need a physical office space for a GBC? +
A GBC must have its principal bank account in Mauritius and maintain its registered office locally. It is typically administered by a Management Company, which provides the registered office and resident directors to meet local substance requirements.
Can a GBC trade directly within the Mauritius local market? +
Generally, GBCs are structured to conduct business globally (outside Mauritius). While they can conduct business in Mauritius, doing so may affect their eligibility for the 80% partial tax exemption on that specific local income.
Does a GBC help with getting a Mauritius residency visa? +
Yes. Registering a GBC or Domestic company allows you to apply for an Occupation Permit (Investor or Professional) through the Economic Development Board (EDB). These permits are valid for up to 10 years and serve as both a work and residence permit.
Are Authorized Companies (AC) subject to corporate tax? +
No. Authorized Companies are treated as non-resident for tax purposes in Mauritius. This means they enjoy a 0% corporate tax rate on all foreign-source income and are exempt from standard Mauritius tax filings.
Can an AC trade with Mauritian residents? +
No. By law, an Authorized Company must conduct its business principally outside of Mauritius. It cannot do business with Mauritian residents, hold local real estate, or deal in the Mauritian Rupee (MUR).
Can I get a Mauritius residency visa through an AC? +
No. Because an AC is a non-resident entity for tax and operational purposes, it does not qualify for allocating local Occupation Permits or residency visas. If you need residency, you should set up a GBC or Domestic Company.
What ongoing compliance is required for an AC? +
An AC has very light compliance requirements. You must maintain a Registered Agent and Registered Office in Mauritius, file a basic annual financial summary with the FSC (full audited statements are not required), and pay the annual government renewal fees.
Does an AC benefit from Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAAs)? +
No. Because Authorized Companies are non-resident for tax purposes and do not pay taxes in Mauritius, they are not eligible to utilize Mauritius' extensive network of Double Tax Treaties.
