Frequently asked questions

How much income tax will I pay if I move to Mauritius?

Mauritius has a progressive income tax system with three brackets: no tax on your first MUR 500,000 of annual income, 10% on the next MUR 500,000, and 20% on anything above MUR 1 million. This means lower and middle earners benefit from significant tax relief, while high earners pay a flat 20% rate on income above MUR 1 million.

What social contributions do I need to pay as an employee in Mauritius?

As a private sector employee, you'll pay three main contributions: Contribution Sociale Generalisee (CSG) at 1.5% on salary up to MUR 50,000 monthly and 3% above that, a National Savings Fund (NSF) employee levy of 1% on all gross income, and a Fair Share Contribution of 15% if your income exceeds MUR 12 million. These contributions are deducted from your salary, though the NSF levy is not tax-deductible.

Is there a solidarity tax or wealth tax in Mauritius?

No, Mauritius abolished the solidarity levy as of the 2023/24 income year, so you won't face that charge. However, if you're a high earner with income exceeding MUR 12 million, you will pay a Fair Share Contribution of 15% on the amount above that threshold.

What reliefs or deductions are available to reduce my tax bill?

Personal reliefs such as dependent deductions and medical insurance deductions are available, but they depend on your individual circumstances and are not modeled in the standard calculator. Interest relief on housing loans is also available under certain conditions, though it requires specific loan details and income thresholds to qualify.

How is my take-home pay calculated after taxes and contributions?

Your take-home pay is calculated by subtracting income tax, CSG contributions, and NSF levies from your gross salary. For example, if you earn MUR 600,000 annually as a private sector employee, you'd pay no income tax on the first MUR 500,000, then 10% on the remaining MUR 100,000, plus your CSG and NSF contributions, which reduces your final take-home amount.
