Mauritius Residence Schemes: Not harmful to the integrity of the CRS according to OECD
On 16th October 2018, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) published a list of the CRS-committed countries that offer Residence and citizenship by investment (CBI/RBI) schemes that could potentially be detrimental to the integrity of the Common Reporting Standards (CRS).

Whilst Mauritius was initially identified as one of the countries offering high-risk CBI/RBI schemes, the OECD overturned its assessment of the country nation and on 22nd October, the OECD removed Mauritius from the list of high risk jurisdictions offering residence/citizenship by investment scheme.

According to the OECD, CBI/RBI schemes could be misused to misrepresent individuals’ jurisdiction(s) of tax residence thus providing them with the possibility of shunning from their obligations under the CRS, leading to inaccurate or incomplete reporting.
