Lawyer specializing in Franco-Mauritian taxation

Developing your projects between France and Mauritius

Mauritius has become a key jurisdiction for entrepreneurs, investors and international groups wishing to expand their activities in Africa, Asia and the Indian Ocean. Economic relations with France are particularly dynamic and concern both private investment and business establishment or international mobility projects.

However, any transaction between France and Mauritius requires a thorough tax analysis. The applicable rules result from both national legislation, the Franco-Mauritian tax convention and international commitments on tax transparency. Appropriate structuring ensures that projects are secure while ensuring legal compliance.

Structure an establishment in Mauritius

Creating a company in Mauritius can meet different objectives: to develop local activity, to invest in African markets, to manage international interests or to support the growth of a group.

The choice of the legal structure, the organisation of governance and the reality of the economic substance must be carefully studied in order to meet the requirements of the tax administrations and to prevent any risk of questioning the proposed arrangements.

Organize the tax residence of the directors

Leaders sharing their activities between France and Mauritius must anticipate the consequences of their international mobility. The determination of tax residence, the taxation of remuneration, dividends or capital gains depends on specific criteria that must be analysed on a case-by-case basis.

A rigorous preparation helps to secure residence changes and avoid situations of double taxation or tax administration disputes.

Secure investment and international heritage

The acquisition of assets in Mauritius, real estate investments, equity interests in companies or the holding of assets distributed among several states raise complex tax issues.
