reasons to invest in mauritius

Mauritius is not just a pretty country to visit, instead tropical ideal destination has fast become Africa’s leading place to travel to, as well as live and work within. Take a glance at some of the reasons why more and more people are looking to invest in Mauritius first.

Property Thrives

It has become easy for non-Mauritius residents to purchase property with the introduction of the Property Development Scheme. With purchasing property over $500 000 non-Mauritius buyers can gain Mauritian residency.

Business ranked among the best

Conducting business in Mauritius is not overly complicated and frustrating. In 2016, Mauritius was ranked 32 out of 189 economies in the world for ease of starting a business by the World Bank.

Peaceful place

Friendly and relaxed, Mauritius has ranked 23 on the Global Peace Index 2016, which has been going since 2007 by the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP). With the unrest experienced in neighbouring African continents, it’s refreshing to see one rank so high globally.

Taxing System

Whether you are starting up a business in Mauritius or buying a home, the tax system is a major pull. Mauritius has a 15% tax rate, no inheritance or capital gains tax to worry about, and free repatriation of profits, dividends and capital.

Budding economy and the introduction of Smart City Development

The tourism industry is not the only aspect of Mauritius doing well. The Mauritius economy is being boosted with eight mega projects and five techno parks planned to be built. A Smart City Scheme is currently in place to transform Mauritius into a greener, self-sustained, modern and urban island.

Understanding what this tropical island has to offer, Rainmaker Marketing aim to make Mauritian property investment opportunities known to the South African market.
