  1. For the Avoidance of Double Taxation with respect of Taxes on Income and Capital.
  2. For the avoidance of Double Taxation with respect to Taxes on Income for the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion.
  3. For the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with respect to Taxes on Income.
  4. Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income.
  5. For the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with respect to Taxes on Income and on Capital.

 

Mauritius has issued a statement reaffirming its commitment of implementation of the minimum standards developed in the course of OECD/G20BEPS Project into its entire tax treaty network by end of 2018.
