Our opinion
by Anthony Leung Shing, Tax Leader
The Hon. Pravind Jugnauth, Minister of Finance and Economic Development painted a rather optimistic picture of the country’s performance, with some healthy fundamentals. In recent years, we have been accustomed to projects or measures being announced but being rolled over year after year and from one budget to another.

Tax Perspective
by Dheerend Puholoo, Tax Partner
The 2018-2019 Budget provides a number of measures that aim at creating new poles of economic growth and making Mauritius a High Income country. Further, in the wake of the Action Plan on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS Action Plan), the Budget has brought in tax reforms that will be in conformity with the proposals made by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
Public Finance
The 2017/2018 GDP growth rate has also remained at the 2016/2017 rate of 3.9%, thus falling short of the last 2 years’ forecast of 4.1%.
For 2018/2019, an estimated 4.1% GDP growth rate is also being maintained for the third consecutive year.
