Why Mauritius?

Situated strategically in the Indian Ocean, Mauritius has established itself as a trusted jurisdiction over the last three decades. The island serves as a strategic entry point for cross-border trade and investment flows into the African continent – a region rich in untapped potential and growing economic opportunities. Indian corporates keen on expanding their footprint in Africa find Mauritius an ideal platform due to its cultural proximity, historical ties, and economic and political stability. The economic agreement between India and Mauritius also empowers Indian companies to establish operations and service centres in Mauritius to expand their reach into diverse African markets.

Furthermore, Mauritius serves as a gateway to international investment opportunities, enabling investors to diversify their portfolios across different asset classes and geographic regions and preserve wealth for future generations through tax-efficient structures and solutions. Its robust legal framework and efficient tax regime, coupled with its ease of doing business, make it a reputable and internationally compliant jurisdiction.

  • Well known for ease of doing business.
  • Strong premium on good governance.
  • Legal certainty to investors through its hybrid legal system.
  • Wide network of Investment Promotion and Protection Agreements (IPPAs) and Double Tax Avoidance Agreements (DTAAs).
  • Strongly committed to ensuring tax transparency.
  • Committed to full compliance with the recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) in relation to money laundering and terrorism financing.

Beyond this, Mauritius offers political stability, a safe, secure and peaceful multicultural environment to live in, an educated and bilingual workforce, a conducive time zone for international business (GMT +4), tropical climate and an attractive lifestyle.
