Update
The
Companies Act 2001 came into force in December 2001. The main
changes are as follows:
|
| · |
Offshore
companies are now known as Global Business Companies,
Catagory 1 (GBC1) and International Companies, which
most of our clients use, are now called Global Business
Companies Catagory 2 (GBC2) |
| · |
At
least one director must be appointed and one share issued
at the time of incorporation of a GBC2 |
| · |
If
a GBC2 is a ‘one person company’, i.e. the
sole sharholder is also the sole director, then the
Companies Act 2001 required that the company nominates
(not appoint) a company secretary to act in the event
of death or incapacity of the sole director/shareholder. |
| · |
Compaines
are issured with a Global Business Licence in addition
to their Certificate of Incorporation |
| · |
The
Memorandum and Articles of Association are replace by
a Constitution. A company need not have a Constitution.
There is no need to set out objects. Although there
is no retrospective requirement, any changes to an existing
M&AA, will make it necessary to convert the M&AA
to a constitution |
| · |
A
company may purchase its own shares |
|
|
The financial services commission came into being on 1st December
2001 as an independant regulatory authority, replacing MOBAA.
The
Sino-Mauritius tax treaty has considerable potential as foreign
investors are attracted to China following its admission to
the World Trade Organisation. One example is capital gains;
as there is no capital gains tax in Mauritius, gains arising
in China can be repatriated to a Mauritius holding company
free of tax. This only applies where the company does not
hold immovable property in China. The treaty also allows the
Chinese witholding tax on royalties and interest to be reduced
from 30% to a maximum 10% on payment to Mauritius.
