Company Registration in Mauritius from India

Q: How long does it take to set up a company in Mauritius?

The timeline for Mauritius company registration varies depending on the type of company and the completeness of documents. Domestic Company: Typically, it can take as little as 3-5 working days once all documents are ready and verified. Global Business Company (GBC): This usually takes longer, around 2-3 weeks, as it involves approval from both the CBRD and the Financial Services Commission (FSC) and a more extensive due diligence process. Authorised Company (AC): Can be slightly quicker than a GBC, often around 1-2 weeks. Delays can occur if documents are incomplete or if additional information is requested.

Q: What is the main difference between a GBC and an Authorised Company?

The main difference lies in their tax residency and operational focus: Global Business Company (GBC): A tax resident in Mauritius. It conducts business globally, but its core income-generating activities and management must be carried out in or from Mauritius to meet substance requirements. GBCs can access Mauritius's DTAA network. Authorised Company (AC): A non-tax resident in Mauritius. It conducts business primarily outside Mauritius, and its central management and control must be located outside Mauritius. ACs are generally exempt from income tax in Mauritius but cannot access DTAA benefits. They are often chosen for simple international trading or holding activities where DTAA benefits are not sought.

Q: Can I get residency in Mauritius by starting a company?

Yes, by starting a company in Mauritius and meeting certain investment criteria, Indian entrepreneurs can apply for an Investor Occupation Permit. This permit allows you to live and work in Mauritius for up to 10 years and can eventually lead to permanent residency. The minimum investment currently required is USD 50,000 into a qualifying business.

Q: Is Mauritius still a tax-friendly jurisdiction for Indian investors?

Yes, Mauritius remains a tax-friendly jurisdiction, though its tax landscape has evolved. While the capital gains tax exemption under the India-Mauritius DTAA for shares acquired after April 1, 2017, has been modified, Mauritius continues to offer: A low corporate tax rate of 15% with a potential 80% partial exemption for GBCs (effectively 3%). No capital gains tax at the Mauritian level. No withholding tax on dividends. A robust DTAA network (for GBCs) that still provides benefits for various income streams like interest and royalties. A stable, transparent, and compliant regulatory environment that adheres to international standards.
