| We believe Mauritius is inaccurately portrayed as being a secretive jurisdiction on taxation (Report, 11 December). Mauritius has a straightforward, transparent and predictable tax regime and understands the importance of comprehensive tax information exchange and co-operation in tax matters. We have all necessary elements in place to achieve effective exchange of information and collaborate with authorities worldwide. Our recognition by the OECD as a white-listed jurisdiction and our adherence to principles set by international bodies make Mauritius a neutral, safe and trusted jurisdiction. There are several good reasons why investors and development funds use Mauritius as a jurisdiction of choice within the African continent, including a stable democracy, a sophisticated legal system where the highest court of appeal is the UK privy council, a regulatory framework based on international standards, and numerous double taxation and investor protection agreements.
