Rwanda and Mauritius are exploring the first amendment to their 2013 double tax agreement.

Rwanda and Mauritius officials met on 11 August 2025 to discuss their bilateral relationship, focusing on potential updates to the income tax treaty signed in 2013.

A tax treaty is an agreement between two countries designed to address the problem of double taxation on income, whether passive or active. Such treaties typically specify how much tax each country can impose on a person’s income, assets, estate, or wealth. These agreements are also known as Double Tax Agreements (DTAs).

Any changes, expected to take the form of an amending protocol, would mark the first modification to the treaty and would require completion, signature, and ratification before becoming effective.
