Foreigners: How to invest in Mauritius?
There are 5 devices: • The Integrated Resort Scheme (IRS) This scheme allows Mauritians or foreign investors to acquire luxury villas or upscale residences with high-end infrastructure and amenities (spa, restaurant, swimming pool, golf course, tennis courts, gyms, etc.). As its name suggests, an "Integrated" program must be integrated into the social (through job creation) and geographical environment. IRS residences are offered at a price exceeding $375,000 and allow the foreign investor to automatically obtain a permanent residence permit. • The Real Estate Scheme (RES) This scheme, established in 2007, allows Mauritians or foreign nationals to purchase real estate without a minimum investment requirement. However, it does not grant foreigners the right to permanent resident status in Mauritius unless the purchase exceeds $375,000. The Invest Hotel Scheme (IHS) • The Invest Hotel Scheme (IHS) This system allows a hotel developer to sell a portion of their property to a foreign investor. The operation of the sold unit remains the responsibility of the hotel complex owner. This scheme thus enables foreign investors to purchase rooms, suites, or apartments in prestigious hotels in Mauritius. There is no minimum purchase price restriction, but the IHS does not facilitate obtaining a residence permit. The investor is granted occupancy rights for up to 45 days per year, with the option to stay in other hotels within the same hotel group. On the remaining days, the IHS property is available for nightly rental, and the income is still taxed at 15%. • The Property Development Scheme (PDS) In November 2015, the Property Development Scheme merged the IRS and RES schemes in Mauritius. It authorizes the development of residential projects targeting an international clientele. No minimum investment is required. ACCESS TO THE LOCAL MARKET - scheme entitled R+2 Since December 2016, the Mauritian government has allowed foreign nationals to purchase an apartment in a local real estate project with a minimum of two floors. The investment must be at least Rs 6 million (approximately €150,000 at the current exchange rate). PERMANENT RESIDENCE PERMIT IN MAURITIUS: The RES, IRS and PDS schemes allow you to obtain permanent residency in Mauritius with a minimum investment of $375,000. TAX ADVANTAGES Investing in Mauritius is more attractive than elsewhere thanks to a very favorable tax regime, making the island a prime destination for foreigners looking to invest in real estate. The tax advantages in Mauritius are numerous and unparalleled worldwide: - Income tax not exceeding 15% - No capital gains tax - No inheritance tax - No council tax or property tax - No CSG (social contribution tax) - Double taxation avoidance agreement with 33 countries, including France Mauritius is a signatory to a double taxation avoidance agreement with 35 other countries, including France. By doing so, the Mauritian government intends to further encourage real estate investment in the…
