Mauritius is an English speaking country in the Indian Ocean. It is a former British colony which became independent in 1968 and joined the Commonwealth. It is a parliamentary democracy in the British style. It established a modern presence as an Offshore Financial Center, with the passing of the Companies Act in 2001. This introduced a new form of Offshore Company aimed at non tax resident companies - Global Business Category 2 (GBC2). This section deals with the GBC 2 Company. Unlike the GBC 1 Company, a GBC 2 is non tax resident in Mauritius. It therefore does not have access to the many Double Taxation Treaties which Mauritius has signed with other countries.
