Salary and cost of living

Hi LondonRanger,

Depends on what you want to buy. You can get cheap, mid range prices and expensive.
Too many variables that determine the prices.

Food can be cheap if you eat local and know where to shop. Buying imported branded food products in supermarkets and some grocery stores can cost you a lot.
Utility services like water, electricity and gas are cheap.
Internet rates are OK.

Electronics are more expensive than in Europe or UK.

Cars are much more expensive due to exorbitant import and emission duties and costly shipment and brokerage fees.

Hi,

Just trying to pinpoint a few things:

a) In Mauritius, the max income tax rate is 15% and you are allowed to put your dependants to further reduce your taxes.

On the other hand in the UK, the max income tax rate is 45%, and you have a personal allowance to reduce your taxes.

b) What is offered generally?: Is depends on the company's policies for relocation benefits or salary payment in foreign currency.

I hope this helps.

MS
