Work Permits & Occupation Permits: Tax Implications for Expats
How the Occupation Permit, Premium Visa and Young Professional Permit interact with income tax, CSG and residency in Mauritius.
Mauritius has built one of the most attractive expatriate regimes in the region. But the immigration status you hold materially changes your tax and social-security profile — the same salary can be taxed very differently depending on your permit.
Occupation Permit (OP)
OP holders are treated as Mauritian tax residents from arrival. Worldwide income is caught, subject to the standard PIT bands and reliefs.
Premium Visa
Foreign-source income of Premium Visa holders is not taxed in Mauritius provided it is not remitted or credited to a Mauritian bank account.
