Mauritius transfer pricing for the 2026/27 income year. Covers the arm's length test in section 75 of the Income Tax Act, who it reaches, connected persons, the Director-General's power to reset net income, record keeping, country-by-country reporting for groups with EUR 750 million revenue, and how it sits with the domestic minimum top-up tax. Use for related-party pricing, intra-group charges, management fees, or loans with a Mauritius company, and for CbCR questions.

Tax year covered: Income year 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027 (year of assessment 2027/28).
Any business or income-earning activity carried on in or from Mauritius that is controlled by a non-resident, carried on by a non-resident company or a company more than half held by a non-resident, or whose controller is not at arm's length with another person, and that appears to produce no net income or less than expected (Income Tax Act s.75(1)). It has applied to all such activity since the Act began (s.75(1A)).

"Connected persons" are two or more persons where one controls the other's business or activity, by relationship or otherwise. "Transaction" covers any transaction or series, direct or indirect, enforceable or not, and also dealings between a person and its own cross-border business (s.75(4)). A company in such a transaction must prepare and keep records as prescribed (s.75(2A)).
Tax from an adjustment takes the ordinary income tax penalties and interest: see Corporate income tax.
Treaty relief does not displace s.75. Treaty rates are in Cross-border. Section 90 addresses transactions designed to avoid tax.
Example 1. Mauritius subsidiary pays its foreign parent a Rs 5,000,000 fee where arm's length is Rs 3,000,000. Add back Rs 2,000,000. Extra tax at 15% is Rs 300,000.
name: Excess related-party fee
inputs:
paid: 5000000
arm: 3000000
steps:
- adjustment: paid - arm
- tax: adjustment * 0.15
expected:
tax: 300000.00
Example 2. Decision: keep the current fee or benchmark first? With a Rs 20,000,000 fee and a possible 10% excess, tax at risk is Rs 300,000 plus 2.5% penalty, Rs 7,500, before interest. Compare that with the cost of a benchmark.
name: Exposure against benchmark cost
inputs:
fee: 20000000
excess: 0.10
steps:
- tax: fee * excess * 0.15
- penalty: tax * 0.025
- exposure: tax + penalty
expected:
exposure: 307500.00
