Mauritius VAT Update: New Rs 3 Million Threshold from October 2025 — How Posterita POS Keeps You Compliant

The Mauritius Revenue Authority has announced a significant change in VAT compliance rules. Starting October 1, 2025, all businesses with yearly turnover of Rs 3 million or more in taxable supplies must register for VAT. This represents the first time many small and medium-sized businesses will operate under VAT obligations.

Key Announcement: New VAT Rule

"Any person whose annual taxable turnover exceeds or is likely to exceed Rs 3 million is required to be registered for VAT." — MRA VAT FAQs

Registration requirements:

• Charge VAT on taxable goods and services
• Issue VAT invoices
• File monthly or quarterly returns
• Maintain proper, auditable sales records
• Register via MRA's Taxpayer Portal (TAP)

Risks of Manual Systems

Handwritten receipts or spreadsheet-based tracking expose businesses to:

• VAT miscalculations or underreporting
• Filing delays and errors
• Difficulty tracking taxable turnover
• MRA non-compliance fines
