GBC1

A GBC1 is incorporated in accordance with the Companies Act 2001, holding a Category 1 Global Business Licence issued by the Mauritius Financial Services Commission. Such type of companies is tax resident in Mauritius (unlike GBC2), thus benefit from the double taxation avoidance treaty network.

With an applicable tax rate of 15%, combined with a foreign tax credit of 12% (80% x 15%) the effective tax rate for the GBC1 will be a maximum of 3%. There are no capital gains taxes, nor exchange control

Following the enactment of the Finance Act 2010, a GBL1 Company is allowed to,

  1. carry on business in Mauritius,
  2. deal with persons resident in Mauritius, and
  3. hold shares or other interests in a corporation which is resident in Mauritius.

The above is subject to the approval of the Authorities in Mauritius.
