Presented on June 5, 2025, the 2025–2026 Budget is based on three pillars announced by the government: economic renewal, a new social order, and fiscal consolidation. Il s’accompagne d’un Annexe détaillé et de la Finance Act 2025, qui précisent ce qui entre réellement en vigueur.

Personal income tax
The scale has been simplified into three effective brackets for the year ending June 30, 2026: 0% up to Rs 500,000, 10% between Rs 500,000 and Rs 1,000,000, and 20% above that amount. Objectif affiché : alléger les bas revenus tout en préservant la borne maximale à 20 %.

Contribution exceptionnelle sur hauts revenus
A Fair-Share Contribution of 15% applies to individuals whose annual net income exceeds 12 million rupees, in order to strengthen progressivity.

TVA et économie numérique
Le seuil d’assujettissement à la TVA passe de 6 M Rs à 3 M Rs, avec effet au 1er octobre 2025. Companies exceeding this threshold must register with the MRA.
Les services numériques fournis par des prestataires étrangers à des clients mauriciens seront soumis à 15 % de TVA à compter du 1er janvier 2026.

Entreprises, banques et fiscalité internationale
Introduction of a QDMTT (Qualified Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax) to implement the OECD minimum base, and introduction of an Alternative Minimum Tax in targeted sectors. Suppression du plafonnement de la Special Levy des banques. Ces mesures s’ajoutent à des ajustements d’exonérations partielles pour certains revenus.

Tourism and e-invoicing
A tourist fee of EUR 3 per night is introduced for stays in designated establishments. Le déploiement de la facturation électronique se poursuit, avec un abaissement progressif des seuils de chiffre d’affaires concernés.

Real estate and non-citizen investors: what was announced, what has been finalized
Annoncé au Budget, puis confirmé par la Finance Act 2025 avec une entrée en vigueur décalée, le taux des droits d’enregistrement payés par un non-citoyen à l’achat d’un bien résidentiel sous les schémas EDB (PDS, RES, IRS, Smart City, IHS) ainsi que les appartements G+2 passe de 5 % à 10 %. Similarly, the Land Transfer Tax payable by the seller on a sale to a non-citizen increases from 5% to 10%. Ces hausses s’appliquent aux actes enregistrés à compter du 1er juillet 2026.
Point technique important confirmé par la loi : si un acte inclut des biens meubles non valorisés séparément, la LTT sera calculée sur la valeur agrégée immeuble + meubles.
Furthermore, the former Section 14A of the Registration Duty Act, which already imposed a 10% duty on amounts exceeding USD 500,000 in certain cases, has been repealed, with the new tax structure taking its place.

Mesures envisagées mais finalement non retenues ou revues
Une proposition initiale évoquée pendant le cycle budgétaire visait une LTT pour non-citoyens calculée au plus élevé entre 10 % de la valeur et 30 % de la plus-value à la revente. Cette piste n’a pas été retenue dans la Finance Act 2025.
Certain historical exemptions and incentives for Smart City and related schemes are being tightened or eliminated, with a view to standardizing the regime.

What the macro figures say
The MCCI estimates public spending at Rs 261.4 billion in 2025/26 and a budget deficit reduced to 4.9% of GDP, compared with 9.8% the previous year, with a medium-term reduction trajectory.

Débats et réactions
The shift is being embraced by the authorities as a rebalancing between attractiveness and tax fairness, with a clear message of consolidation after years of incentives. The business community welcomes the clarification but is concerned about increased pressure on banks and international groups, while local editorials speak of a “paradigm shift.” Sur l’immobilier, les prises de position opposées soulignent à la fois la nécessité de calmer la spéculation et les risques sur la dynamique des ventes aux non-citoyens.

Impact on the Mauritian real estate market
Short term until June 30, 2026
Arbitrage window for non-citizen buyers and sellers, encouraging them to finalize deals before duties are raised. Expect a spike in transactions in certain PDS and G+2 segments, followed by a return to normal. Developers could offer contributions toward legal fees or limited discounts to secure signatures. Cette lecture s’appuie sur l’entrée en vigueur légale au 1er juillet 2026.
The total cost of a non-citizen transaction automatically increases, reducing the proportion of purely opportunistic buyers. The mix of demand is expected to shift toward more end-user and long-term profiles, with a moderating effect on price inflation in the most strained areas. However, the fundamentals of attractiveness remain strong for well-located premium properties, supported by the residential ecosystem and legal stability. Cette analyse déduit les effets des nouveaux taux combinés RD/LTT à 10 % chacun.

Rentals and returns
The rising cost of acquisitions could support demand for high-end rentals, particularly among expatriates who are in the process of settling in, while VAT on digital services and e-invoicing are making compliance more burdensome for operators in the short term.
