Family Business Succession & Tax in Mauritius

Family Business Succession & Tax in Mauritius

Passing the business to the next generation without a tax surprise.

No inheritance tax

Mauritius has no inheritance or gift tax. Transfers by way of gift or inheritance are not taxable events.

Registration duty

Immoveable property transfers still attract registration duty (5%) even between family members, with reliefs for certain first-time transfers.

Trust and foundation planning

Wealth planning trusts and foundations can hold shares for future generations, professionalising governance.

Bringing in advisors early

Succession is 20% legal, 80% family. Bring in accountants, lawyers and often a family therapist early.
