ASKED QUESTIONS
-
What is an Authorized Company and Global Business License (GBL) in Mauritius?
Initially, these two categories used to be called Global Business Category 1 (GBC1) and Global Business Category 2 (GBC2). However, the Mauritian Government passed the Financial Provisions Act 2018 and changed these two categories.
The GBC1 category was changed to Global Business License (GBL), whereas the GBC2 category was abolished and replaced with the category of Authorised Companies.
A GBCL is a local resident company in Mauritius and is required to be both managed and controlled from Mauritius. An Authorized Company is considered a non-resident company in Mauritius and therefore it is a business entity that neither resides nor operates in Mauritius. -
Will my company be subject to taxes if I setup my company in Mauritius?
Global Business License (GBL) companies are taxed at a flat rate of 15%, just like any other Mauritian company.
