Returning to live in Mauritius after years abroad offers numerous benefits for Mauritians in the diaspora, both in terms of taxes and personal life. With initiatives such as the Mauritian Diaspora Scheme and specific programs for property acquisition, returning home is becoming increasingly attractive for those wishing to reconnect with their roots and contribute to the development of their homeland. Villa Vie, with its expertise and commitment, is here to facilitate this transition and make the process as smooth as possible.
Tax benefits and incentives
The Mauritian Diaspora Scheme offers several tax advantages to encourage Mauritians to return. Among the key benefits are income tax exemptions on earnings both abroad and in Mauritius for ten years after returning. Additionally, diaspora members enjoy exemptions from taxes on vehicle purchases and customs duties on the importation of personal effects.
Quality of life and returning to roots
The quality of life in Mauritius remains a key factor for many diaspora members. The island offers an exceptional living environment with its beautiful beaches, pleasant climate, and rich and diverse culture. Returning to Mauritius allows one to reconnect with family and local traditions, providing a perfect balance between work and personal life.
Real estate opportunities
To facilitate property ownership, the Mauritius Housing Company (MHC) offers the Diaspora Home Loan program, enabling Mauritians living abroad to finance the purchase of real estate in Mauritius. This program offers flexible loans of up to Rs 15 million, repayable over a period of three to thirty-five years. This initiative aims to strengthen ties between the diaspora and the country by facilitating the acquisition of homes and land.
