Double Taxation Treaties: The Mauritius Advantage
Overview of Mauritius’ 45+ Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAAs), how they reduce withholding taxes and when treaty benefits apply.
Mauritius’ network of Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements is the practical reason so many cross-border investors route through the island. Correctly used, DTAs eliminate double taxation and reduce withholding taxes on dividends, interest and royalties.
Treaty network
Mauritius has DTAs in force with more than 45 jurisdictions across Africa, Asia and Europe. Each treaty allocates taxing rights and specifies reduced withholding rates.
Claiming treaty benefits
A Tax Residence Certificate (TRC) issued by MRA is typically required. Substance in Mauritius — real people, real activity — is now the difference between a granted and a denied claim.
