One of the amendments under the Finance Act 2022 concerns when a company conducts its business outside of Mauritius but has an employee working remotely from Mauritius. In general, the gross income attributable to the work of that employee will be deemed to be income derived from Mauritius. However, this will not apply when the:
- Employee is holder of a premium visa; and
- Core business activity of the company is outside of Mauritius.
This amendment provides clarity to non-resident companies as they will not create a taxable presence in Mauritius when their employees come to work in Mauritius under the work-from-anywhere policy.
