The Agreement between India and 
Mauritius for avoidance of double 


taxation which was signed, in August, 
1982 provides,-- amongst others, for 
taxation of capital gains in respect of 
certain assets, only in the country of 
residence. It also provides for taxation of 
dividend income @5% where the 
recipient is a company holding at feast 
10% share of the company paying the 
dividend, and @15% in all other cascs. 


No specific instance of | Hawala 
transsaction has come to the notice of the 
Government. Due to changes in the 
global economic environment and in the 
domestic tax laws, it has become 
necessary to review the double taxation 
avoidance agreements entcred into by 
India with some of the countrics. The 
Agreement with Mauritius is onc such 
included in this review process.
