1.  An individual is now entitled to additional deduction for a maximum of 4 dependents instead of 3 dependents. The individual will still be entitled to a deduction of MUR175,000 for a dependent pursuing tertiary studies in Mauritius and a deduction of MUR200,000 if the dependent is studying abroad.

2.  The exemption threshold on lump sum has remained at MUR2.5 Million. The lump sum relates to severance allowance, pension or retiring allowance.

3.  An individual deriving an annual net income of up to MUR700,000 (MUR650,000 for YOA 2018/19) will now to be taxed at the rate of 10%. Additionally, an individual deriving a basic salary including compensation not exceeding MUR50,000 in his first month, will benefit from a tax credit of 5% of his chargeable income, provided that his annual net income does not exceed MUR700,000.

Interest income is not included in the computation of the Solidarity Levy.
