Structuring & Tax Rates in Mauritius and Africa
How to use Mauritius efficiently as a base for investment into Africa and beyond — modelled, treaty-backed and substance-compliant.
Mauritius is one of the most established conduits for international investment into Africa, thanks to its political stability, its network of double-taxation and investment-protection treaties, and a 15% corporate tax rate with targeted exemptions.
We help investors and groups model the real, effective tax cost of a structure across jurisdictions, and build the substance needed for treaty benefits to hold up.

What our clients say
“Philip and his team have been excellent throughout our application for a retirement visa. They guided us through every aspect of the process and even looked after us personally when we were in Mauritius with our medical, banking and immigration visits. We found them very friendly, experienced and knowledgeable.”
“TBI does outstanding work and coordinates well on all issues related to property acquisition. Philip has strong ties with local agents, financial institutions and legal experts which makes the process smooth and easy. I really enjoyed working with TBI.”
“I am incredibly satisfied with the service TBI Mauritius provided. They truly “do what they say they will do,” and their professionalism, reliability and expertise make them a standout choice for anyone planning a move to Mauritius.”
“We reached out to TBI once we had decided to move to Mauritius. It has been invaluable to have Philip's knowledge and advice. Nastasia took us to our meetings at the EDB — she has an excellent relationship with them and getting our permits was a great experience. I highly recommend TBI for all your relocation needs.”
“I contacted TBI for the Mauritius Retirement Non-Citizen visa. Philip was in regular touch throughout the entire process. It took longer due to strict documentation requirements, but we finally got through. The company was very professional in their approach.”
