Business Setup
Freeport Mauritius: Tax Benefits for Re-Exporters
The Freeport regime for logistics, warehousing and light manufacturing — still relevant in 2026.
What's a Freeport company?
A licensed operator in the Mauritius Freeport zones (port and airport). Suited to warehousing, storage, breakbulk, and re-export activities.
Tax profile
Historically zero-rated on export activities. Reforms have narrowed some benefits — check current FSC/MRA guidance.
VAT and duty
Goods entering the Freeport are duty and VAT-free. VAT applies only when goods enter the domestic market.
Substance
Post-BEPS, Freeport companies must show genuine local activity. Warehousing headcount and expenditure matter.
