Mauritius:
Legal and Tax Support
for Your Business
Forming a company, acquiring a business, structuring shareholder relationships, hiring employees: establishing operations requires decisions that shape your company’s future.
LEGALYS helps you define your legal and tax structure and coordinates its implementation with the appropriate professionals in Mauritius.
Corporate law, mergers and acquisitions, contracts, employment matters, and Mauritian taxation: we bring together the capabilities your project requires through our local professional network.
We start with your business: what you do, where your teams and customers are located, how you finance growth, and what you want to achieve.
International Structuring
That Accounts for
Every Jurisdiction
A company in Mauritius, customers in Europe, operations in Asia, investments in Africa: a single decision can have consequences in several countries.
LEGALYS examines these cross-border implications to help you choose a structure suited to your business. Establishing operations, setting up a holding company, making an acquisition, arranging financing, or planning compensation and dividend distributions: we assess the legal, tax, and practical consequences of the available options.
Our approach considers both business taxation and the personal tax position of owners and executives. We examine how entities actually operate, where they are managed, the resources supporting their activities, and the requirements applicable in each jurisdiction.
Business Owners and Executives
Aligning Business
and Personal Decisions
Moving abroad, selling your company, or reorganizing your assets can significantly change your tax position.
LEGALYS advises on tax residency, exit taxes, compensation, dividends, and ownership of equity interests. We also consider your objectives for family protection, wealth transfer, and succession planning.
Before you relocate, as your international business develops, or when you plan a return to France, we help you anticipate decisions, understand their consequences, and coordinate the necessary steps.
