Frequently asked questions

What is the income tax rate in Mauritius?

Mauritius uses a progressive tax system with three brackets: the first MUR 500,000 of annual income is tax-free, the next MUR 500,000 is taxed at 10%, and any income above MUR 1 million is taxed at 20%. This means lower earners pay no income tax at all, while higher earners face graduated rates.

What is CSG (Contribution Sociale Generalisee) and how much do I pay?

CSG is a mandatory social contribution deducted from your salary. If you earn up to MUR 50,000 monthly, you pay 1.5% in CSG; if you earn more than that, the rate increases to 3%. This contribution is tax-deductible, meaning it reduces your taxable income.

Do I have to contribute to the National Savings Fund (NSF)?

Yes, as a private sector employee in Mauritius, you must contribute 1% of your gross income to the NSF as an employee levy. Additionally, your employer contributes 2.5% plus a monthly employer levy on your behalf. Unlike CSG, the employee NSF levy is not tax-deductible.

Is there a surcharge for high earners in Mauritius?

Yes, if your income exceeds MUR 12 million annually, you are subject to the Fair Share Contribution, which is an additional 15% tax on income above that threshold. This surcharge applies to very high earners and is calculated on top of regular income tax.

What personal deductions or reliefs can I claim?

The tax model does not include personal reliefs like dependent deductions or medical insurance relief, as these require individual circumstances to calculate. Interest relief on housing loans is also excluded from this calculator, so you should consult with a local tax advisor about whether you qualify for additional relief based on your specific situation.
