Practical guides: tax and wealth in Mauritius

Moving to Mauritius raises questions about your tax residence, bank accounts and how your income will be taxed. These guides help you prepare before you leave and organise your wealth after you arrive.

The tax residency guide explains the Mauritius tests and the ties to consider in the country you are leaving. The accounts and investments guide sets out what to check before keeping your existing bank accounts, portfolio or life insurance policy.

The foreign income guide covers dividends, interest, rent and pensions, including the distinction between income and transferred capital. The retirement guide explains which country taxes each pension, and what happens to French withholding tax and the French health insurance contribution after you leave. If your circumstances involve France and Mauritius, the tax treaty guide explains which country may tax each type of income and how double taxation is relieved.
