For the development of its Global Business sector, Mauritius, as a tax-planning jurisdiction, focuses on the attractiveness of its growing network of Double Taxation Avoidance Treaties (DTAs).
Our network of DTAs currently extends to some 43 countries. Furthermore, Mauritius has signed a number of treaties with other countries which are awaiting ratification. Others are in the process of negotiation.
This expanding network of DTAs reinforces the usefulness of Mauritius as a tax efficient jurisdiction for structuring investments in the region and internationally.
