Message from Chairperson
|
Appointed as Chairperson of the Mauritius Revenue Authority (MRA) in April 2025, I have spent the past few months engaging closely with the institution and gaining a deeper appreciation of its central role in sustaining the country’s economic and social framework. This experience has reaffirmed my belief that the strength of any fiscal system rests on the pillars of integrity, transparency, and accountability; values that are firmly embedded in MRA’s operations. I am committed to upholding these principles and to contributing meaningfully to the Authority’s continued growth and impact. The evolution of MRA into a robust tax administration is a testament to the dedication of the management and staff, with the oversight of the Board. As Chairperson, my priority will be to ensure that the Board continues to provide strong strategic guidance and uphold sound governance principles that support the MRA’s independence, performance and reputation. My career has taken me across major global financial centres, including London, New York, Dublin, Washington DC and back to Mauritius. I have had the opportunity to work with diverse teams, build financial institutions, and oversee investment strategies across continents. I believe this international perspective can offer added value as we navigate complex global tax trends, emerging risks, and evolving expectations of compliance, data governance and cross-border transparency. Mauritius, as an international financial centre, must continue to align with global standards while safeguarding its competitiveness and the MRA is at the forefront of this balancing act. The MRA also plays a key role in nation-building, not just through revenue collection, but also by building trust between the state and its citizens. This trust is earned daily, through efficient service delivery, ethical conduct, and the ability to adapt to the needs of a dynamic taxpayer base. I am particularly encouraged by the work being done to simplify processes, digitalise services, and educate taxpayers. These efforts not only drive compliance but empower individuals and businesses alike. As we look ahead, I see opportunity to strengthen the institutional resilience of the MRA, to leverage data and technology more effectively, to attract and retain top talent, and to forge stronger partnerships with stakeholders, both local and international. My commitment is to support the MRA in fulfilling its vision and to work collaboratively with the Board, the Director General, and the broader MRA team to ensure that the institution continues to serve the nation with integrity and foresight. I look forward to this new chapter with humility, purpose, and optimism. Tej Gujadhur Chairperson Mauritius Revenue Authority |
