Fund Finance Laws and Regulations 2026 – Mauritius

The Mauritius fund industry demonstrated significant resilience and adaptability in 2025, successfully navigating a complex period of global tax reform and heightened regulatory standards. The year was defined by the integration of the 2025 Finance Act’s new tax framework (including the Qualified Domestic Minimum Top-Up Tax, or QDMTT) and a reinforced focus on economic substance, such as the two resident director rule for global business companies (GBCs). This pivot has further solidified the jurisdiction’s move from a tax-led financial centre to a substance-based one. Private equity and debt funds, particularly those focused on African and Asian markets, continue todominate the landscape, with Mauritius retaining its top-tier ranking as an investment gateway for Africa. The variable capital company (VCC) structure remains a popular choice for its flexibility, supplemented by a mature ecosystem of legal and administrative experts.
