About Business in Mauritius
An African offshore with a high trust rating, developed banks, and expert environment. Corporate tax rate only 15%, no capital gains or dividend taxes. An extensive network of DTAs and investment agreements (IPPAs) allows minimizing taxes on dividends and interest. 100% foreign control available (simple LLC, no resident requirements). Serves as a hub for investments in Africa and Asia (COMESA, SACU member).
