Mauritius promises full support to India; warns tax crooks

22 May 2013 Evaluate

Mauritius, the nation from where India receives maximum foreign investments, has promised full support to India and taking strong action against the entity trying to indulge in money laundering or round tripping through this island nation. Mauritius’s Finance and Economic Development Minister, Duval said that we will never allow tax crooks to do business from its soil as the country is known and respected worldwide as a jurisdiction of the highest quality and integrity.

By adding further, the minister said that Mauritius has taken numerous steps over the years to ensure compliance with global norms and standards in the financial services business. Mauritius has always been committed to fully collaborate with other Governments, authorities to ensure effective and timely exchange of information, he added.

Mauritius has recently agreed to sign a new Tax Information Exchange Agreement (TIEA) with India, which would help the two countries to exchange information on tax matters of the entities doing business in the two countries. Beside this, both the countries are working on a new Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) and progress has been made on various fronts.

There have been concerns that Mauritius is being used for money laundering and round tripping of illicit funds as it accounts for almost half of the foreign money coming into India. The investors from the US, Europe and other places tend to route their capital flows into India through this Indian Ocean country to benefit from a favorable tax treaty and the ease of doing business here. Further, there has also been concern related to Mauritius based entities involved in some cases of corruption and alleged tax evasion, which were suspected to have been set up by Indian entities to dodge the tax authorities in India.
