proceeds of such taxes collected by the Government of the United Kingdom. Companies trading or owning properties in Mauritius are, however, liable to the rates of Income Tax and Excess Profits Tax charged on all companies operating in the Colony, irrespective of residence. The ordinary rate of Income Tax so charged at present is 5s. in the pound, and companies which are liable also to the United Kingdom Income Tax are entitled to claim relief up to that amount from their United Kingdom Income Tax liability. The rate of Excess Profits Tax in Mauritius is 50 per cent., and the tax charged on companies which are also liable to United Kingdom Excess Profits Tax is divided, under an arrangement entered into between the two Governments, in proportion to the rates of Excess Profits Tax in Mauritius and the United Kingdom respectively.
