Finalise Your Accounts Early – Avoid Last-Minute Tax Filing Stress!

Image
Tax filing season can become stressful when businesses wait until the last minute to finalise their books of accounts.

The India–Mauritius Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) has long played an important role in cross-border investment between the two countries. Mauritius has historically been a significant jurisdiction for investment into India, particularly for foreign portfolio and institutional investors. However, the tax landscape is evolving. A protocol signed by India and Mauritius on 7 March 2024 proposes to introduce a Principal Purpose Test (PPT) and strengthen the treaty's anti-abuse framework.
