Mauritius is well known as an excellent platform for structuring foreign direct investments into India. Not only does Mauritius benefit from a large network of double taxation avoidance agreements (“DTAA”), such as the India/Mauritius DTAA, it also has sophisticated legislation and regulations crafted with a view to establishing a well regulated and efficient investment funds industry. This is reflected in the burgeoning growth of the investment funds industry which now has in excess of 610 funds registered with the Financial Services Commission in Mauritius.
