MRA Tax Connect & SME Corner: How to File Your Taxes Online in Mauritius

MRA Tax Connect (mra.mu) is the single portal for all Mauritian tax filings. The SME Corner inside it groups the returns and reliefs relevant to small businesses. Once you have a TAN (issued automatically with your BRN), you can file everything from your phone.

Set up your Tax Connect account

1. Go to mra.mu → Tax Connect.
2. Register using your TAN and NIC.
3. Set up 2-factor authentication.
4. Add authorised representatives (your accountant) if needed.

Where to find the SME Corner

Log in → Services → SME Corner. It highlights:

• Simplified income-tax return for sole traders.
• VAT quick filings.
• SME-specific reliefs and reminders.

Filing your annual income tax return

For sole traders: submit within 6 months of year-end. You'll enter turnover, expenses, and any allowances. The system computes the tax due and lets you pay by card or bank transfer.

Filing VAT and PAYE

• VAT: quarterly (or monthly), by end of month following the period.
• PAYE: by the 20th of the month after the payroll month.
• Late filing triggers a 5% penalty plus 1% monthly interest.
