Mauritius

Mauritius is situated in a strategic time zone of GMT +4 in the Indian Ocean and 2000 Kilometers of the south eastern coast of Africa. Mauritius with its long history of economic and political stability; innovative legislation; quality infrastructure and international trade agreements is well placed to meet the challenges and international business opportunities of the millennium.

Mauritius as a Small Island State has experienced diversification in its economy and now offers all the advantages of a financial centre in the Indian Ocean. Mauritius has signed Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements with several countries including DTAA’s with African countries.

  • The preferred destination for Global Business and Investment funds

    By means of its good corporate governance, hybrid and strong legal (civil law and common law) system, robust regulatory framework, social and political stability as well as diversified economy and culture, Mauritius reputation as a global service provider has grown over the past decades. The island, through its strategic location in the Indian Ocean between Africa and Asia, is today the preferred jurisdiction for investments into and from Africa.

    According to the Chandler Institute of Government (CIG), Mauritius is ranked 1st in Africa and is among the top 40 countries worldwide in several areas, including ease of doing business, good governance, economic freedom, political and social stability and ICT development. Strict ‘Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism’ (AML/CFT) laws and the support to international initiatives such as OECD’s BEPS Action Plan and the Financial Action Task Force (FATF-GAFI), reflect the vision of the Mauritian government to promote the country as a transparent International Financial Centre, that does not only attracts capital flows, but ensures the security of assets.

    Mauritius also has an extensive network of double tax treaties and Investment Promotion and Protection Agreements (IPPAs) with countries around the globe. It clearly shows that Mauritius boasts a favourable ecosystem for companies looking to do business at an international level. The island nation is also a member of several international communities, including the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), the Southern African Development Community (SADC), the Indian-Ocean Rim Association (IORA), the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), and the Indian Ocean Commission (COI).

    • A PCC is a corporate structure in which a single legal entity is comprised of a core and several non-core cells, and the assets and liabilities of each non-core cell is legally protected from the failure of another non-core cell.

      PCCs in Mauritius are governed by the Protected Cell Companies Act 1999 and are widely used by collective investment schemes, insurance companies and private equity companies for the following reasons:
      • Flexibility in initial asset segregation
      • Unlimited number of cells can be established
      • Reduced regulatory and administrative costs for setting up and operating several companies
      • Regulatory compliance is for one legal entity
      • Ring fencing of risks and losses.

    • This is a new category of company whose business activities and control & management are outside of Mauritius. With its control & management abroad, an Authorised Company is considered as a foreign company for tax purposes. This type of company does not have access to the Double Tax Avoidance Agreements network of Mauritius.

      Authorised Companies are appropriate for activities such as:
      • Investment holding;
      • Property holding;
      • International trade;
      • Management and consultancy;
      • IT Services;
      • Logistics;
      • Marketing;
      • Shipping and ship Management; or
      • One-off transaction using a Special Purpose Vehicle.
      • financial services, including banking;
      • holding, managing, or dealing with a Collective Investment Scheme (or Fund) as a professional administrator;
      • providing registered office facilities, or nominee, directorship and secretarial services, or other services to corporations; or
      • providing trusteeship services.

      Authorised companies are also prohibited to carry out any other activities that may damage reputation of Mauritius as an International Financial Centre (as determined by the FSC), or contrary to public interest.

    • A Trust is an arrangement for the holding and administration of property under which property or legal rights are vested by the owner of the property (the Settlor) in a person or persons (the Trustees). The Trustees then hold the property for or on behalf of other persons (the Beneficiaries). It is essential that the transfer is gratuitous otherwise the transaction takes on the characteristics of some other legal entity.

      The Trusts Act 2001 offers an ideal legislative framework for the setting up and administration of trusts. Trusts do not require registration and therefore provide absolute confidentiality, and are used for the following:
      • Asset Protection
      • Estate and Succession Planning
      • Protection from forced heirship rules
      • Holding of Investments and Property
      • Investment Funds
      • Charitable and Philanthropic Purposes
      • A Private Trust Company (PTC) can be formed to act as trustee to a limited number of trusts for the benefit of different groups
      • The PTC can be a Global Business Company and does not need a special licence. The settlor, members of his family or his advisors, can be appointed to the Board of Directors and influence the manner in which the Trust is administered

    • The Foundation is an alternative vehicle to Trust and is convenient for succession planning and wealth management. It is the dedication of property to an entity to be used for the benefit of people for a specific purpose.

      The Mauritius Foundations Act 2012 offers one of the most versatile and dynamic Foundations available from any jurisdiction and promotes Mauritius as a platform for wealth management services, succession and estate planning.

      What is a Foundation?
      A Foundation can be defined as a legally and economically independent special-purpose fund which is formed as a legal entity through the unilateral declaration of the founder. The founder allocates the specifically designated foundation assets, stipulates the purpose of the foundation, entirely non-self-serving and specifically designated, and also stipulates the beneficiaries.

      The Mauritius Foundation provides a legitimate means to protect one's assets against personal liability, high taxes, exchange controls or risk of confiscation. It could be the preferred vehicle for those from civil law jurisdictions and why not common law countries.

      Why a Mauritius Foundation?
      A Mauritius Foundation gives the Founder the requisite protection and comfort for a long -term wealth management. Family assets are preserved over generations with most tax efficiency, succession laws, forced heirship rules, probate and other hurdles are avoided.

      A Foundation may upon application to the Financial Services Commission of Mauritius, hold a global business licence and may elect to be tax resident in Mauritius to benefit from the wide network of Double Taxation Agreements ("DTAs") in force in Mauritius. Otherwise, if a Foundation is for a charitable purpose or is declared non-resident, it is exempted from income tax in Mauritius.

    • Funds can be classified either as an Open Ended (Collective Investment Scheme) or Closed Ended Fund.

      A Collective Investment Scheme (“CIS”) is defined under the Securities Act as one:
      - whose sole purpose is the collective investment of funds in a portfolio of securities, or other financial assets, real property or non-financial assets as may be approved;
      - whose operation is based on the principle of diversification of risk;
      - that has the obligation, on request of the holder of the securities, to redeem them at their net assets value, less commission or fees;
      - where the participants do not have day to day control over the management of the property, whether or not they have the right to be consulted or to give directions in respect of such management; and
      - includes closed-end funds whose shares or units are listed on a securities exchange

      A Closed Ended Fund is mostly used for Private Equity or Property / Real Estate Fund. A Closed Ended Fund is defined as an arrangement or a scheme, other than a collective investment scheme whose object is to invest funds, collected from:
      - subscribers during an offering made or
      - from sophisticated investors, in a portfolio of securities, or
      - in other financial or non-financial assets, or
      - real property, as may be approved.

      Special Purpose Fund (“SPF”) was introduced by the FSC under the Financial Services (Special Purpose Fund) Rules in 2013. This type of fund is set up under the domestic law and is tax exempt in Mauritius. The objective of the SPF rules is to attract international fund promoters who want to use Mauritius as an international hub which offers modern securities laws and overall fund logistics. As a tax-exempt vehicle, the SPF obviously does not have access to the network of double taxation treaties.

      Special Purpose Funds may be established as either a Collective Investment Scheme or Closed End Fund. The FSC may, on application, approve a scheme as a Special Purpose Fund if the criterion, under Rule 3 of Financial Services (SPF) Rules 2013 is satisfied:
      - the purpose of the scheme is to conduct investment solely in countries which do not have a tax arrangement with Mauritius;
      - the purpose of the scheme is to invest mainly in securities whose returns will be exempted from taxation; or
      - all the investors of the schemes are pension schemes or other persons entitled to tax exemption.

      The FSC shall not approve a scheme holding a Global Business Licence as a Special Purpose Fund. An approval is sought under the Financial Services (Special Purpose Fund) Rules 2013 and may be subject to such conditions as the FSC may deem necessary.

      Depending on the nature of the fund and objectives set by the promoter, a Fund can be set up as the following;
      (1) Professional CIS
      (2) Specialised CIS
      (3) Expert Funds

      Mauritius Funds can be structured either as a Company or Limited Partnership. It is not common for Fund Promoters to set their Fund Manager Company in Mauritius together with the Fund Investment Vehicle.

    • The Investment Dealer licence as issued by the Financial Services Commission in Mauritius is getting increasing popularity among many of the Brokerage Houses worldwide. Application for Investment Dealer Licence must be made under the structure of a Global Business Licence (GBL) and the licence is granted subject to the approval of the Financial Services Commission. The Securities Act 2005 coupled with the Securities (licensing) Rules 2007 remain the main legal framework governing the provisions and setting the parameters within which a GBL with an Investment Dealer licence can operate.

      The Securities (licensing) Rules 2007 clearly set out the activities authorized to be carried out under an Investment Dealer licence:

      (i) Investment Dealer (Full Service) can be with or without underwriting:
      - Act as an intermediary in the execution of securities transactions for clients;
      - Trade in securities as principal with the intention of reselling these securities to the public;
      - Underwrite or distribute securities on behalf of an issuer or a holder of securities;
      - Give investment advice which is ancillary to the normal course of his business activities; and
      - Manage portfolios of clients

      (ii) Investment Dealer (Broker)
      - Execute orders for clients;
      - Manage portfolios of clients; and
      - Give advice on securities transactions to clients
      - Give advice on securities transactions through printed materials or any other means.

      (iii) Investment Dealer (Discount Broker)
      - Execute orders for clients without giving advice

    • Payment Intermediary Services (PIS) licence holders are entities that operate as payment gateways that allow e-Commerce businesses to accept different types of payments online.

      In most cases, the PIS, also known as Payment Service Providers(PSP) in other jurisdictions, performs many operations which includes the authentication of payment information, transfers between parties involved, fraud and risk management and conversion facilities amongst others. The main customer base is often composed of online merchant sellers.

      (a) offer wallets/accounts to individuals and corporate clients;
      (b) offer Merchant services like trustee payment processing, credit card processing etc to companies, online shop owners or any kind of Merchant that is operating according to its local and the Mauritius laws;
      (c) enable customers funding of their wallets, process incoming and outgoing payments directly via correspondence banks or through other Payment Services Providers e.g. in Europe to use the SEPA infrastructure of third parties;
      (d) charge fees for accounts, openings, incoming and outgoing transfers, credit card processing, other payment methods
      (e) issue account certificates to your account holders;
      (f) offer online banking and transfer options for individuals and corporate clients.
      (g) Issue debit cards by co-branding or white label

    • Ship registration and mortgaging are regulated by the Mauritius Merchant Shipping Act 1986 and the Mauritius Shipping (Amendment) Act 1992 which have been largely modelled on the British Merchant Shipping Act which is well-tried and respected worldwide.

      The registration procedures involve the formation of a Company licensed by the Financial Services Commission to hold a Global Business Licence and the Registration of the vessel itself with the Ministry of Trade and Shipping.

      Requirements:
      • Application for Registration of Ship as Mauritius Ship, Official Number and Call Sign (Form SR01);
      • Declaration of Ownership (Form SR02);
      • Certificate of Incorporation (for all Companies and Bodies Corporate);
      • A copy of resolutions of its board of directors authorising a director or the company secretary to effect the registration of the ship in Mauritius;
      • Declaration of Ownership;
      • Original documents of sale (for example, Bill of Sale, Builder’s Certificate);
      • Certificate of Survey issued by one of the classification societies (listed below) who have been authorised to carry out the survey and measurements of the ship on behalf of the Government of Mauritius. A ship measured in accordance with the above will be provided by the relevant Classification Society with a Mauritius Tonnage Certificate. The Act specifically permits a surveyor to accept a tonnage certificate issued by a foreign registry if the surveyor is satisfied that there has been no changes of measurement since the previous registration.
      • Registration Fee;
      • If the ship is coming from a foreign register, a Certificate of Deletion and a declaration to state that the ship is free and clear of registered encumbrances.
      • Documents used to support an application in a foreign language must be accompanied by a notarised translation.
      • On receipt of the certificates, the Director of Shipping will allot to the ship an official number and issue the Carving and Marking Note.

      Benefits of Mauritius registration

    • With a view to diversifying the country’s financial services sector and increasing wealth management activities in the country, the Mauritian Government has introduced the Overseas Family Office Licence.

      The Financial Services Act, 2007, was amended to include both an Overseas Family Office (Single) Licence and an Overseas Family Office (Multiple) Licence. In March 2020, the Mauritius Financial Services Commission (FSC) issued the Financial Services (Family Office) Rules 2020 (Rules), which are applicable to any person carrying family office activity in Mauritius.

      A holder of a Family Office Licence is authorised to provide certain services to family clients which include:
      • administration and management of investments, assets and/or estate(s);
      • administration and management of concierge services;
      • management of accounting and reporting;
      • administration and management of philanthropic services;
      • providing training and development to the incoming generations;
      • administration and management of disaster recovery planning;
      • administration of risk management;
      • provision of administrative support;

      • establishing family governance, wealth strategies, family boards including family charters;
      • providing tax advisory and compliance services;
      • advising on wealth planning and protection; and
      • any other activities as may be approved by the FSC.

      ‘Family’ is defined under the Rules as a group of individuals who are connected in at least one of the ways set out in Schedule 1 of the Rules. This schedule provides for a list of persons related to any individual within the family office, and it includes spouse, descendants, parents, step-parents, grandparents, parents-in-law, step-parents-in-law, brother, step-brother, sister, step-sister.

      A family office may, but need not, be wholly-owned by family clients and exclusively controlled by family members or family entities. The minimum stated unimpaired capital is USD 35 000 for a Family Office (Single) and USD 70 000 for a Family office (Multiple).

      The holder of a family office Licence is required to subscribe for insurance policies and to develop and adopt an integrated risk management system which must be reviewed annually and must include factors such as risk identification, measurement, reporting and mitigation.

      As an incentive, a holder of a family office licence may benefit from a five-year tax holiday provided that it meets the substance requirements of the FSC, which include having a physical office in Mauritius, a minimum number of employees resident in Mauritius (at least one professional for a family office (single) and three professionals for family office (multiple)) and assets under management of more than USD 5 million for each family.

    • A Variable Capital Company (“VCC”) is a type structure where activities may be segmented through sub-funds and Special (SPVs). A VCC needs to be authorised by the Financial Services Commission, Mauritius (the “Commission”) as a VCC Fund pursuant to the Variable Capital Companies.

      A VCC can be set up as a standalone entity or as an umbrella structure comprising of sub-funds or SPVs.
      A VCC Fund can also be set up initially as a standalone fund and further sub-funds can be added subsequently. The sub-fund of a VCC Fund may elect to have separate legal personality from that of the VCC Fund.
      The sub-fund or SPV will operate as a Collective Investment Scheme (“CIS”) or a Closed-End Fund (“CEF”) of any category .
      A VCC can accommodate both a CIS and a CEF under one single structure.
      A sub-fund or SPV of a VCC fund may be allowed to invest its assets into another sub-fund or SPV of the VCC Fund.
      A VCC Fund may issue shares of varying amounts in its sub funds and SPVs.
      A VCC may redeem or buy back its shares or those of its sub-funds and SPVs.
      A VCC is cost efficient - A VCC Fund with sub-funds or SPVs can have the same board of directors, CIS manager, CIS administrator and other service providers.
      A VCC Fund which meets the criteria provided under section 71 of the Financial Services Act, will be required to hold a Global Business Licence (“GBL”). A single GBL will be required by the VCC Fund irrespective of whether its sub-funds or SPVs have separate legal personality.

      TAXATION OF A VCC IN MAURITIUS

      Where the VCC fund elects to present separate financial statements, each sub-fund or SPV shall be deemed to be an entity separate from the VCC and shall be liable to income tax in respect of its own income.
      Where the VCC presents consolidated financial statements, a single income tax return should be filed with the Mauritius Revenue Authority (MRA) and the VCC would be subject to tax on the aggregated income of its funds and SPVs.
      Tax resident VCCs, sub-funds and SPVs may have access to treaty network.
      Standard tax rate of 15%.
      80% partial exemption is available on certain types of income.
      Foreign tax credit may be claimed on foreign sourced income.

    • The Virtual Asset and Initial Token Offering Services Act 2021 (the “Act”), passed by the National Assembly on 10 December 2021 and gazetted on 16 December 2021, empowers the Financial Services Commission (the “FSC”) to regulate and supervise virtual asset service providers (“VASPs”) and issuers of initial token offerings (issuers of “ITOs”), and enhance the status of Mauritius financial sector as a jurisdiction of highest global standards and to improve its service offerings.

      The Act regulates two main categories of activities:
      1. VASP, meaning a person that acts as a business conducts for or on behalf of another person one or more of the following activities or operations, namely (a) exchange between virtual assets and fiat currencies; (b) exchange between one or more forms of virtual assets; (c) transfer of virtual assets; (d) safekeeping of virtual assets or instruments enabling control over virtual assets; (e) administration of virtual assets or instruments enabling control over virtual assets; or (f) participation in, and provision of, financial services related to an issuer’s offer and sale of a virtual asset or an issuer’s offer or sale of a virtual asset. According to the Act, a virtual asset is a digital representation of value which may be digitally traded or transferred, and may be used for payment or investment purposes, but does not include a digital representation of fiat currencies, securities and other financial assets that fall under the purview of the Securities Act 2005.
      2. Issuers of ITOs, which are companies registered as such under the Act making “initial token offerings” or “ITOs”. An “initial token offering” or “ITO” is an offer for sale to the public of a virtual token in exchange for fiat currency or another virtual asset.

      Category 1: VASP
      Different licences available under the VASP regime
      VASP consists of several sub-categories of licenses as follows:
      • Holders of Class M (Virtual Asset Broker-Dealer) licences carry out activities such as exchange between virtual assets and fiat currencies; or exchange between one or more forms of virtual assets.
      • Class O (Virtual Asset Wallet Services) licences pertain to the transfer of virtual assets.
      • Class R (Virtual Asset Custodian) licencee are responsible for safekeeping of virtual assets or instruments enabling control over virtual assets;
      administration of virtual assets or instruments enabling control over virtual assets.
      • A Class I (Virtual Asset Advisory Services) licence is required for the participation in and provision of financial services related to an issuer’s offer and/or sale of virtual assets.
      • Virtual asset exchanges must apply for a Class S (Virtual Asset Market Place) licence. A Virtual Asset Exchange is a centralised or decentralised virtual platform, whether in Mauritius or in another jurisdiction which facilitates the exchange of virtual assets for fiat currency or other virtual assets on behalf of third parties for a fee, a commission, a spread or other benefit and which – (i) holds custody, or controls virtual asset, on behalf of its clients to facilitate an exchange or (ii) purchases virtual assets from a seller when transactions or bids and offers are matched in order to sell them to a buyer. The definition of Virtual Asset Exchange also includes the owner or operator of the virtual platform, but excludes a platform only providing a forum where sellers and buyers may post bids and offers and a forum where the parties trade in a separate platform or in a peer-to-peer manner”.
      It is apposite to note that whilst companies may generally apply for the relevant licence, banks or holders of licences issued under the National Payment Systems Act (‘NPS licensee‘) may also apply for a licence under the Act, subject to certain conditions:
      • The written approval of the regulator (i.e. the Bank of Mauritius) must be obtained before an application is submitted; and
      • A class “M” licence, class “O” licence or class “S” licence can only be issued to the subsidiary of the bank or the NPS licensee (as opposed to the bank or the NPS licensee itself).
      In contrast, a bank can apply for a class “R” licence or a class “I” licence, provided that the written approval of the Bank of Mauritius is obtained. Category 2: Issuers of ITOs
      An issuer of ITO means a company making an offer for sale to the public of a virtual token (i.e. any cryptographically secured digital representation of a set of rights, including smart contracts, provided on a digital platform and issued or to be issued by an issuer of initial token offerings) in exchange for fiat currency or another virtual asset.
      Continuing obligations of issuers of ITOs
      A key obligation for issuers of ITOs is to establish and maintain a white paper signed by every member of the governing body of the issuer and which provides full and accurate disclosure of a list of prescribed information (including the class(es) of virtual tokens available for subscription) allowing potential purchasers to make an informed decision. This helps in ensuring the traceability of ITOs. The white paper is published on the issuer’s website so that it is readily accessible and downloadable by potential purchasers for the duration of the offer period of virtual tokens (which must not exceed 6 months) and at least 15 days after the offer period ends.
      If the issuer becomes aware of any information that may affect the interests of purchasers before the closure of the offer period, a disclosure of the information should be made to the FSC by giving written notice and providing a supplement to the white paper. Any changes in the class(es) of virtual tokens made available require the prior approval from the FSC.
      Advertisement of ITOs should be clearly identifiable and be consistent with the information in the white paper and should in no way be misleading or in contravention of the rules of the FSC. In case of a material misrepresentation in the white paper, a purchaser will have the right to claim rescission of the subscription or damages from the issuer of ITOs. The purchaser may equally withdraw his purchase by giving written notice to the issuer of ITOs not later than 72 hours after the date of the agreement to purchase the virtual token.
