Company taxation

When structuring transactions, LEGIS can help with :

  • inform foreign investors about local tax rules (domestic and global status) and about emerging sectors that benefit from tax incentive schemes,
  • carry out comparative tax analyses, which take into account local and international regulations (such as the OECD on tax base erosion and profit shifting), all in collaboration with the tax advisers of the investor’s home country and/or the client’s tax team,
  • carrying out tax audit for company takeovers or equity investments in Mauritian entities.

On a day-to-day basis, LEGIS advises subsidiaries and branches of foreign groups on:

  • preparing the tax and social security returns required in Mauritius (corporation tax, VAT, social security contributions),
  • relations with the Mauritian tax authorities in the event of a VAT or tax refund claim, tax audit or tax reassessment;
  • payroll management for expatriate staff, calculation of withholding tax and submission of their tax returns;

Personal taxation

  • inform them of their tax obligations, taking into account any applicable double taxation agreements;
  • register them with the Mauritian tax authorities,
  • help them complete their tax returns, depending on the origin and nature of their income,
  • request proof of tax residence;
