Doing Business in Mauritius |
 |
Over the years, Mauritius has crafted the prerequisites to make the island a really advantageous, safe and business-friendly location of unparalleled quality for the investor community. The country has a long and positive track record in attracting investors from all parts of the world, many of whom have re-invested in multiple projects and are still active in Mauritius.
In recent years, the island state has emerged as one of the strongest economies in sub-Saharan Africa. Resting on a broad-based and resilient economy, the country is poised for further growth as it sets out to become a major business and financial hub in this region of the world.
Mauritius is in the midst of a great change, a total innovation of the business and investment climate that makes the island state really advantageous as a premier investment destination. Opening bold moves have been made to further ease investment and entrepreneurship. A new business can now be up and operational in just three days. Investors and professionals benefit from a hassle-free environment where income and corporate tax are harmonized at a low 15%.
Businesses can be conducted locally in several forms: under a self-employed activity, as a partnership with Mauritian nationals or a 100% foreign owned company under the Companies Act. The Registrar of Companies is the authority with which any business must register before starting operations. A unique business registration number and registration card is delivered within 3 days.
For a limited number of regulated activities an application for the appropriate permit or license must be made to the competent authorities prior to start of operations. For such activities, please seek advice from the Board of Investment. |
