SME Preferential Regimes: Support for Small Businesses

SME Preferential Regimes: Support for Small Businesses

Mauritius offers targeted tax reliefs for SMEs — are you claiming them?

Who qualifies as an SME?

The SME Act defines SMEs by turnover and headcount. Manufacturing SMEs get more generous thresholds.

Tax holidays

Certain qualifying SMEs enjoy tax holidays of 4-8 years on business income. Sector matters — export-oriented and manufacturing SMEs get priority.

Non-tax support

Beyond tax, the Mauritius SME Financing Scheme (MSFS) and DBM funding lines back credit-worthy SMEs.

Application

Register with SME Mauritius and apply for the SME Development Certificate. It's paperwork, but the returns are worth it.
