Details

The Mauritius Revenue Authority (MRA) has announced a major change in VAT compliance rules. Starting 1 October 2025, all businesses with a yearly turnover of Rs 3 million or more in taxable supplies will be required to register for VAT.

For many small and medium-sized businesses in Mauritius, this is the first time they'll be operating under VAT obligations. The transition can be daunting - unless you're equipped with the right system to track sales, issue proper invoices, and generate VAT-ready reports.

That's where Posterita POS comes in.

New VAT Rule: Mandatory Registration at Rs 3M Turnover

According to the MRA VAT FAQs:

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

This new limit takes effect from 1 October 2025, replacing the previous Rs 6 million threshold.

Once registered, businesses must:

  • Charge VAT on taxable goods/services
  • Issue VAT invoices
  • File monthly or quarterly returns
  • Maintain proper and auditable sales records

To register, visit the MRA's official Taxpayer Portal (TAP).

Why Manual Systems Will No Longer Work

Businesses that rely on handwritten receipts or spreadsheets are now exposed to serious risks:

  • VAT miscalculations or underreporting
  • Delays or mistakes in filing returns
  • Difficulty tracking taxable turnover
  • Risk of fines or non-compliance with MRA requirements
