Mauritius has for some years now been “the” perfect destination for foreigners wanting to buy a second home but who hesitate due to the fear of having their property income reduced because of taxes. Indeed, this small independent Commonwealth Republic is one of the leaders of the African countries, benefiting from a central geographical position and its soft taxation.
In France, the gradual elimination of the housing tax by 2020 is causing stirs regarding the maximum increase of another tax: the one on second homes. So as to avoid being subject to this taxation in a perfectly legal way, in order to be able to invest in a property that will become profitable, it is quite possible to look abroad, more specifically towards Mauritius, a reliable and more than attractive destination in terms of taxation.
Buying a second home
Indeed, the country gives foreigners the possibility to buy property without having to reside there permanently or for a minimum period.
Even better, it offers them incomparable taxation:
Mauritius is a dynamic country in every respect: a thriving economy, strong trade relations with India and China, to name but two, constantly changing and innovative companies, foreign investors who do not hesitate to support the country, and a very low unemployment rate.
In short, this small island is the perfect destination to buy a second home and to enjoy it financially. Investing in real estate in Mauritius has become a perfectly accessible option for foreigners who want to make profits, thanks to a well-thought-through and supervised taxation.
Many have jumped the gun and now have the support of the authorities to enjoy their investment in a transparent and serene manner.
