Understand the Mauritian tax system
For a few years now, many European people have chosen to invest in Mauritius.
They were particularly seduced by conditions conductive to real estate investment and a favourable tax system. This small country enjoys political stability and economic dynamism, both very reassuring for investors.
The picture-postcard landscapes and the legendary sweetness of life in the islands of the Indian Ocean have truly made of Mauritius a dream destination.
Investing in full ownership in Mauritius is gaining access to all its benefits:
A single income tax bracket (15%), even for rental income.
A double taxation agreement between Mauritius and 46 countries that prevent from being taxed twice on the same income. If you make a rental investment, the income generated won’t be taxed in your home country (depending on your country).
No real estate wealth tax.
In case of resale of the property, the profits arising won’t be taxed.
No property tax, no housing tax, no social security contribution.
Benefit from the Mauritian tax system
When making a real estate investment in Mauritius under the PDS (Property Developement Scheme) run by the BOI (Board of Investment) and choosing to live at least 183 days in your Mauritian residence, you can become a resident. The acquisition of your property can also be done by creating a local company (like the SCI in France), which provide various additional benefits. MJ Développement is surrounded by experts to accompany you in all administrative steps of the creation of the said company.

Group MJ Développement wishes to bring you all the guarantees and the necessary assistance to secure your purchase :
