Mauritius has emerged as one of the most attractive international financial centers, particularly for Indian businesses. Located strategically between Africa and Asia, Mauritius offers a unique combination of favorable tax treaties, regulated financial services, and access to emerging markets. The country is a member of multiple trade agreements and serves as a gateway to Africa through COMESA and SADC.
A Global Business Company (GBC) in Mauritius is a company that holds a Global Business Licence issued by the Financial Services Commission (FSC). GBCs are designed for conducting business outside Mauritius and benefit from reduced tax rates, extensive Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAAs), and access to international banking. Mauritius has DTAAs with over 45 countries including India.
For Indian businesses, the India-Mauritius DTAA has historically made Mauritius a preferred jurisdiction for investment structures, holding companies, and fund vehicles investing into India. While amendments in 2017 changed capital gains treatment, Mauritius remains attractive for interest, royalty, and dividend structuring, as well as investments into Africa.
At IncorpX, we work with FSC-licensed Management Companies to help Indian entrepreneurs establish Mauritius GBC companies. From selecting the right structure to obtaining the Global Business Licence, bank accounts, and Tax Residency Certificates - we handle the complete process professionally.
Why Mauritius for Indian Investors?
Mauritius offers stable political environment, English & French speaking workforce, strong legal system based on French & English law, time zone overlap with India (IST +1:30), and sophisticated banking infrastructure. It's India's most trusted offshore partner.
