The Council of the European Union, on 12 March 2019, issued a press release updating its blacklist of non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes. The blacklist contains 15 jurisdictions namely American Samoa, Guam, Trinidad & Tobago, US Virgin Islands, Barbados, United Arab Emirates, Marshall Islands, Aruba, Belize, Bermuda, Fiji, Oman, Vanuatu and Dominica.
As a result of the prompt commitment taken by the Government of Mauritius on the 4th of February 2019, Mauritius does not feature on the said blacklist.
Other committed jurisdictions, including Australia and Morocco, as well as Mauritius have undertaken to take necessary actions in line with best international tax standards by the end of 2019.
Mauritius remains committed to uphold its adherence to international norms and best practices and the Mauritian authorities will continue to work closely with stakeholders in ensuring the good repute of the jurisdiction.
