Taxes that are levied on such structures directly depend on what has served them as a source of income. So, if the income of such a structure was received outside Mauritius, then it will be necessary to pay the tax on it, based on the rate of 3%, and if the profit is received domestically, then it will have to pay tax at a rate of 15%.
