1 . Very Favorable Taxation

15% tax on corporate profits and personal income
No taxation on dividends
No restrictions on the repatriation of profits, dividends, and capital
No capital gains tax on the sale of companies
No property tax

2 . A strategic geographical location

Thanks to its location in the Indian Ocean, Mauritius is now a hub for trade, investment, and tourism, connecting Africa, India, and Asia with the rest of the world. It enjoys an ideal time zone, two hours (or three hours) ahead of Paris (4 hours)

4 . A politically and socially stable country

Since gaining independence in 1968, Mauritius has enjoyed impressive political stability. Its political structure, based on the British parliamentary model, applies the principle of separation of powers between the executive, legislative, and judicial branches under the watchful eye of the “fourth estate,” a free press.

5 . Skilled Labor

Mauritians are bilingual in English and French, the country's two official languages. The population is made up of skilled professionals with multiple skills who are always looking for training opportunities. Many Mauritians supplement their education at the University of Mauritius with degrees from foreign universities.

6 . An economy based on free trade

The dynamism that has propelled Mauritius to second place among African middle-income countries is the result of long-term sound economic management. Guided by the principle of free markets, the business community and the local population as a whole consider the protection of foreign investors to be an essential priority for the country's development.

The Index of Economic Freedom, published annually by the Wall Street Journal, ranks Mauritius as the eighth most economically free country in the world, ahead of the United States, Great Britain, Japan, Germany, and France.
