JurisTax is thrilled to announce the launching of its Chinese desk to expand its financial and corporate services to the Chinese market!

Current ongoing foreign investment to Africa from governments and businesses across the world is reconfirming the position of Mauritius as the right platform to invest in the African continent.
One of the countries which have openly iterate its wish to do so is China which has signed its first free trade agreement with an African country being Mauritius. This is believed to set the pace for a shared economic vision for the coming years and bolster the inter-trade between Asia and Africa starting by Mauritius.
As at date, Mauritius has concluded about 23 double taxation agreements with African countries and 23 investment promotion and protection agreements with African countries. This does not only provide assurance to investors that they will be protected against expropriation but also offers security about compensation for losses and free repatriation of capital profits.
Being a founder member of the African Union, SADC and COMESA, Mauritius remains a prime player for attracting funding required for African ventures and hence through Mauritius, Chinese investors may extend their businesses not only to Africa but to other parts of the world such as US and EU with well-designed structures.
Mauritius has signed a China-Mauritius Treaty for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income with the following highlights.
The taxing rights on capital gains from the disposal of shares are allocated to Mauritius except in the following instances:
a. The Chinese investee company derives its value principally from immovable property situated in China, or
b. The Mauritius company directly or indirectly owns shareholdings of at least 25 in the Chinese investee company during the 12-month period preceding the disposal of the shares.

毛里求斯 ― 非洲 对外投资
毛里求斯国际金融中心已成为中国在非洲的首选枢纽，为中国赴非洲开展业务提供便利的平台已迫在眉睫。JurisTax很高兴地宣布将其金融和公司服务扩展到中国市场。
JurisTax的服务为：
- 企业解决方案和促进非洲投资
毛里求斯提供全套金融产品和服务;如私人银行以及投资结构;如全球商业公司、信托和基金、住所和私人财富管理。
- 财富资产管理
对于希望投资并建立一个最能满足高净值人士志向的投资组合来说有很多可能性。据毛里求斯现行的立法框架，中国人可以在毛里求斯找到必要的生态系统，以确保其财富的积累，保存和转移。
- 全球总部设在毛里求斯
毛里求斯全球总部行政许可证允许公司在毛里求斯设立或迁移其区域行政、秘书支助和会计职能。该许可证为他们提供了享受八年免税期以及在毛里求斯经营的其他好处。
- 遗产及继承规划
毛里求斯拥有灵活的继任计划工具，以最节税的方式满足保存和转移资产和财富的需要，因此值得考虑我们的信托和基金会。

世界各国政府和企业当前对非洲的持续外国投资，再次证明了毛里求斯是投资非洲大陆的正确平台。
中国公开表达这一个意愿并与毛里求斯签署了第一份自由贸易协定。这将为未来几年的共同经济愿景奠定基础，并以毛里求斯为起点促进亚非之间的贸易往来。
迄今，毛里求斯已与非洲国家签署了约23项双重征税协定与23项投资促进及保护协议。这不仅向投资者保证资产不被没收，而且还为赔偿损失和资本利润的自由汇回得到保障.
作为非洲联盟，南部非洲发展共同体(SADC)和东南非共同市场(COMESA)的创始成员国，毛里求斯仍然是吸引非洲企业所需资金的主要参与者。因此，中国投资者不仅可以通过毛里求斯将业务扩展到非洲，而且还可以拓展到美国和欧盟。
毛里求斯签署了《中毛避免双重征税和防止漏税的协议，主要内容如下:
除下列情况外，对出售股份所得的资本利得的征税权分配给毛里求斯:
a. 中国被投资公司的价值主要来源于位于中国境内的不动产。
b. 毛里求斯公司在出售股权前的12个月内直接或间接持有中国被投资公司至少25的股权。
