Investing through Mauritius
Mauritius has long been one of the largest routes for investment into India. Since the 2016 protocol to the India–Mauritius tax treaty, India can tax capital gains on shares of Indian companies acquired on or after 1 April 2017, and treaty benefits need genuine substance and a tax residency certificate (Form 41). We review structures before money moves.
Frequently asked questions
Can you check an Indian supplier for an African importer?
Yes — from public records, filed accounts, GST and directors, with an optional site visit, and a written English report. A basic India Company Check is a fixed USD 249.
Is investing in India through Mauritius still tax-efficient?
Less than before. Since the 2016 treaty protocol, India can tax gains on Indian shares acquired from 1 April 2017, and treaty benefits require real substance in Mauritius. Each structure should be reviewed on its facts.
Do you help Indian-origin families in Africa with Indian tax?
Yes — NRI returns, property sales and TDS, repatriation, and investments in India for NRIs and Overseas Citizens of India living in Africa.
