Expat Tax Planning: Moving to Mauritius in 2026

Expat Tax Planning: Moving to Mauritius in 2026

Before you board the flight, get your tax residency and asset planning sorted.

Breaking home-country residency

Depending on your home country, breaking tax residency can require days-out-of-country tests, home disposal, and formal declarations.

Timing the move

Move date matters. Consider realising gains before becoming Mauritian-resident (no CGT) or after (depending on home rules).

Foreign assets

Restructure holdings, review trust arrangements, and update wills before arrival. Mauritius does not have inheritance tax.

Health & lifestyle

Beyond tax, factor in schooling, healthcare, driving licences and property purchase rules for foreigners.
