Mauritius Offshore Company Incorporation

Mauritius is a highly regarded jurisdiction for offshore company incorporation, known for its robust regulatory framework, political stability, and extensive network of double taxation agreements (DTAs) with over 40 countries. Setting up a Global Business Company (GBC) in Mauritius offers strategic advantages such as access to African and Asian markets, low effective tax rates (3% on chargeable income with tax credits), and a transparent legal system based on English and French law. The jurisdiction is particularly attractive for investors seeking tax efficiency, asset protection, and ease of cross-border business operations.

In addition, Mauritius does not impose capital gains tax, and dividends paid by a Mauritius company are generally tax exempt. With its strong reputation as a well-regulated international financial centre, Mauritius is an excellent choice for entrepreneurs and investors looking to establish an offshore structure in a credible and business-friendly jurisdiction.

Frequently Asked Questions on Mauritius Offshore Companies

A Mauritius offshore company, also known as a Global Business Company (GBC), is a legal entity registered under the Financial Services Commission (FSC) to conduct business primarily outside of Mauritius. It offers favorable tax treatment, confidentiality, and access to a network of double tax treaties.

There are two main types:

  • Global Business Company (GBC): For companies with substantive operations and tax residency in Mauritius.

  • Authorized Company (AC): For companies that are non-resident for tax purposes and mainly used for asset holding or international trade.

A Mauritius GBC enjoys:

  • 15% corporate tax (can be reduced to as low as 3% with partial exemption)

  • Access to over 40 Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAAs)

  • No capital gains tax

  • No withholding tax on dividends, interest, or royalties paid abroad

To open a Mauritius offshore company, you must:

  1. Choose between a GBC or AC structure

  2. Appoint a licensed management company

  3. Prepare due diligence documents (passport, proof of address, business plan, etc.)

  4. Submit incorporation documents to the FSC

Worldwide Fellow can handle this entire process on your behalf.

Typically, it takes 5 to 10 working days to register a Mauritius GBC or AC once all documents are submitted and due diligence is complete.
