What this register means

Reading the Mauritian VAT register.

VAT registration
A business must register for VAT with the MRA once its annual taxable turnover crosses the compulsory threshold — lowered to MUR 3 million from 1 October 2025. Registered persons charge 15% VAT on taxable supplies and file periodic VAT returns.
TAN — Tax Account Number
The unique identifier the MRA assigns to every taxpayer. It is how the Revenue Authority tracks returns, payments and registrations for that person or business.
BRN — Business Registration Number
Issued by the Corporate and Business Registration Department. The first letter signals the entity type — C for companies, I for individuals (sole traders), P for partnerships and sociétés.
Why it matters
A counterparty on this register is charging VAT — so VAT on their valid invoices is generally recoverable as input tax. Verifying registration before you transact protects your own VAT position.

Questions

About the VAT register.

How do I check if a company is VAT-registered in Mauritius?

Search this directory by business name, trade name, Business Registration Number (BRN) or Tax Account Number (TAN). It reproduces the Mauritius Revenue Authority’s official list of VAT-registered persons, current as at 31 March 2026. A match means the business was registered for VAT as at that date.

What is the VAT registration threshold in Mauritius?

The standard VAT rate is 15%. Compulsory VAT registration applies once annual taxable turnover reaches MUR 3 million — the threshold lowered from MUR 6 million with effect from 1 October 2025. Businesses can also register voluntarily.

What is the difference between a TAN and a BRN?

The TAN (Tax Account Number) is the MRA’s identifier for a taxpayer. The BRN (Business Registration Number) is issued by the Corporate and Business Registration Department; its first letter indicates the entity type — C for companies, I for individuals, P for partnerships.

How current is this list, and how often does it change?

This directory reflects the MRA register as at 31 March 2026. The official register changes continually as businesses register, deregister or update their details. Always confirm the live position directly with the MRA before relying on it.

My business is missing or the details are wrong — what should I do?

This is a faithful reproduction of the MRA’s published list; we do not add, remove or amend entries. Any correction must be made with the Mauritius Revenue Authority, after which it will appear when the published list is next refreshed here.

Are foreign digital-service suppliers included?

Yes. The MRA publishes a separate list of foreign suppliers of digital and electronic services registered for VAT — required from 1 January 2026. Those suppliers are listed further down this page.
