CSR in Mauritius: The 2% Corporate Obligation

CSR in Mauritius: The 2% Corporate Obligation

Every profitable company sets aside 2% for CSR — here's how to deploy it strategically.

The 2% rule

Companies must set aside 2% of chargeable income in a CSR fund. Failure to spend it means the balance goes to the MRA.

Approved use

Spend on approved NGOs, ministry-endorsed programmes, or your own approved CSR project. Keep evidence of every disbursement.

Strategic CSR

Aligning CSR spend with your brand values (education, environment, sports) doubles as marketing. Publish an annual CSR report.

Don't miss the deadline

Unspent CSR must be paid to the MRA with the annual return. Missing this is one of the most common company-tax filing errors.
