January marked a pivotal moment for Rawson Property Group as it opened its doors on the popular island destination for the first time.
According to Rawson Property Group MD, Tony Clarke, this expansion will provide attractive investment opportunities for South Africans.
“Mauritius has become a very popular emigration destination for South Africans, and is also a favourite spot for business relocation and expansion,” said Clarke.
“It has enviable political stability and an impressive track record of economic growth, with very liberal, business-friendly policies and extremely favourable tax laws.”
Indeed, with income tax capped at 15% and land transfer tax at 5%, Mauritius is a very tax-efficient destination for South Africans. Zero inheritance and capital gains tax only adds to the appeal for those weighing up the benefits of long-term investments like property.
