Zambia-Mauritius tax treaty provides new alternatives for investing into Zambia

The tax treaty between Zambia and Mauritius, which entered into force on June 4, 2012, will provide alternative investment structuring opportunities to US multinationals with planned or existing investments in Zambia. When a US company holds its Zambian investment through Mauritius, the treaty — combined with the attractive Mauritius holding company regime — may reduce the cost of doing business in Zambia.
