The Mauritius Revenue Authority (MRA) informs its stakeholders that following changes brought to the Value Added Tax Act, a Fair Share Contribution (FSC) is applicable to companies in respect of income derived from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2028.

Return & Payment:

Ensure that you have all the required information including your login and password before you begin. You may opt to calculate the company`s chargeable income for FSC quarters 1 to 3 based on either Option 1 or Option 2.

Option 1

The chargeable income is deemed to be 25% of the chargeable income of the company for the accounting year ending on the date immediately preceding the commencement of that quarter as follows:

25/100 x Chargeable Income of the preceding Income Year

Option 2

The chargeable income is the difference between the gross income and the allowable deductions for that quarter including any loss brought forward from the previous quarter of the accounting year immediately preceding that quarter. Where the company opts for Option 2 and the calculated value is negative, the company may deduct that loss in the FSC Statement of the next quarter of the accounting year.

No document needs to be submitted but ensure that all required information is inserted. While filing the FSC statement, please insert a valid e-mail address in order to obtain an acknowledgement confirming that your statement has been received by MRA for further processing.
