Businesses must submit tax returns to MRA - Mauritius Revenue Authority. We can help with all aspects of this.

Companies are required to work out their own income tax liability and pay their tax bill when it is due, irrespective of whether a demand has been issued. A income tax return and computation is required and supporting records must be kept.

Individual or sole trader carrying business under their name must submit tax returns showing their income as well as partnership whereby no tax is payable on this income or gain as partners' shares will normally be included on their tax returns.

Our service includes the following as standard:

• Preparation of an initial tax computation for accounts purposes with an estimate of the company’s tax liability for the statutory accounts.
• Preparation and completion of tax returns.
• Ensuring that the appropriate documents are signed and submitted on a timely basis to avoid any penalties arising.
• Advising you of the amount of tax to pay and the date upon which it is due.
• Advising you of changes in legislation.
• Dealing with all Mauritius Revenue Authority queries.

PAYE
All employers must register a PAYE scheme with NPF and deduct tax and National pension Contributions from employees' salaries. Our payroll bureau can work out these deductions and advise on the amounts and dates of payments due.

We can also help with calculations of sick pay, maternity pay as well as providing employees' payslips and dealing with the annual return forms at the end of the tax year.

VAT
Your business may be required to register for VAT, or may wish to register voluntarily. We can help you decide whether VAT registration would be to your advantage and, if appropriate, also complete the registration application.

Our advice covers topics such as whether VAT needs to be charged and if the VAT incurred on purchases can be reclaimed. We can help make your VAT compliance easier.
