Occupation Permit: Tax Implications for Foreign Professionals
Investor, Professional, or Self-Employed OP — the tax profile differs.
Three OP categories
Professional (salary ≥ Rs 30k/month), Investor (business activity ≥ USD 50k), and Self-Employed (activity ≥ USD 35k). Each has income and turnover conditions.
Tax residency
OP holders present > 183 days become tax residents. Salaries, business income and Mauritian-source income are fully taxable.
Family and dependents
Spouses and dependents can be included. Only the primary OP holder's income triggers residency — but families should plan collectively.
Renewal traps
OP renewals check compliance with income thresholds AND tax filings. Don't let a filing lapse jeopardise your immigration status.
