FAQ

Common questions

What is a Mauritius Trust? +
A Mauritius Trust is a highly secure legal arrangement governed by the Mauritius Trusts Act 2001. A settlor transfers legal ownership of assets to trustees, who hold and administer them for the benefit of named beneficiaries, ensuring strict wealth protection and seamless succession.
Are Mauritius Trusts subject to taxation? +
A Trust in Mauritius can elect to file a declaration of non-residence. If the settlor and all beneficiaries are non-residents, and the Trust holds no real estate in Mauritius, its foreign-source income is completely exempt from Mauritius taxes (0% tax rate).
Do I need a local trustee in Mauritius? +
Yes. Under Mauritius law, at least one of the trustees must be a "qualified trustee." This means they must be licensed and regulated by the Financial Services Commission (FSC) in Mauritius, which is a service we provide through an authorized Management Company.
How private is a Mauritius Trust? +
It is highly private. Trust deeds are not publicly registered or available for public inspection in Mauritius. The identities of the settlor and beneficiaries remain strictly confidential and are protected by robust domestic laws.
Can I retain control over the Trust's assets? +
Yes, through several mechanisms. A settlor can provide a Letter of Wishes to guide the trustees, appoint a "Protector" who holds veto powers over major trustee decisions, or even establish a Private Trust Company (PTC) to act as the trustee, allowing the family to maintain direct control.
What is a Mauritius Foundation? +
A Mauritius Foundation is a distinct legal entity that blends the features of a Trust and a Company. Established by a Founder, it is managed by a Council rather than a Board of Directors, and can be used for wealth management, succession planning, or charitable purposes.
Is a Foundation taxed differently than a Trust? +
No, the tax treatment is identical. A Foundation can declare non-residence in Mauritius. As long as the founder and all beneficiaries are non-residents and the foundation holds no local assets, it benefits from a 0% tax rate on its foreign-source income.
What is the role of the Foundation Council? +
The Foundation Council acts similarly to a corporate Board of Directors. It is responsible for administering the Foundation's assets and executing its objectives. By law, at least one Council member must be ordinarily resident in Mauritius (typically provided by an FSC-licensed Management Company).
Does a Foundation have shares or shareholders? +
No. Unlike a company, a Foundation has no shareholders or share capital. It is an "orphan structure" that owns itself and operates strictly according to the rules set out in its Foundation Charter for the benefit of its named beneficiaries.
Do Foundations require a local registered office? +
Yes, every Foundation must maintain a registered office in Mauritius. This office must be provided by an FSC-licensed Management Company, which also acts as the statutory Foundation Secretary.
