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
