Welcome to the ExpatMauritius.com Blog

There are many facets of expatriate life that come as a total surprise. It is easy for outsiders to get the wrong idea about expatriate life: a perception that combines romanticism and leisure, adventure and pleasure, a better life, a hope, a future. It is seen as a privileged lifestyle and envied by those who stay behind. These qualities may, in some way or another, be present in the expatriate lifestyle, but with them also come the sacrifices, discipline, energy, focus, determination, self-discipline and connectedness that enable you to keep yourself together.

Paying tax in Mauritius

My husband has a two year job offer but we are unclear whether his salary is tax free, we are receiving conflicting information. Would you know who officially we can confirm this with?

It would be difficult to make a comment as it all depends at which company he will be working for. All people working in Mauritius are on a work permit and are liable to pay tax – there is no exclusion. If the company say it is, my suggestion is to phone the Mauritius Revenue Authorities (MRA) and clear it with them. You do not want to be in a predicament. Tax is not that high. Don't come with the expectation of a no tax salary – you may be very disappointed. The ExpatMauritius.com website has a few service providers advertising on the site such as lawyers specialising in expat tax and company secretarial and administrators who can perhaps assist you?
