Authorised Company Domestic Company Global Business Corporation

An Authorised Company is an entity where the majority of shares or voting rights or the legal or beneficial interest are held or controlled, as the case may be, by a person who is not a citizen of Mauritius. In addition, an Authorised Company should have its place of effective management outside of Mauritius as well as conduct business principally outside Mauritius. An Authorised Company is treated as non-resident for tax purposes in Mauritius.

A domestic company is registered with the Registrar of Companies and is governed by the Companies Act 2001. It can be set up for various activities, including Trading, Investment Holding and Consulting Services amongst others. The activities can be conducted with residents of Mauritius as well as with non-residents. Where the Company is controlled by non-citizens of Mauritius and it carries out its main activities outside of Mauritius, it will have to apply for a Global Business Licence. A Domestic Company is tax resident in Mauritius and thus benefits from the network of Double Tax Treaties which Mauritius has ratified with other countries.

A Global Business Corporation (GBC) is a resident corporation licensed by the Financial Services Commission (FSC). It conducts business principally outside of Mauritius. A resident corporation is a body corporate formed or registered in Mauritius. It may include any trust, société, partnership or any body of persons governed by the laws of Mauritius. A GBC demonstrates substance in Mauritius and is a tax-resident entity that benefits from the network of double tax treaties that Mauritius has ratified with other countries.
