Business updates

The number of shops within the MCCI Tax Tourist Refund network went over the 1,000 ceiling in 2016. At the end of 2016, the TTR network gathered a total of 1065 shopping outlets. The renovation of several malls has greatly favoured our Outreach programme, which led to an increase in outlets, thereby enhancing the variety of products offered to tourists for shopping.

The number of outlets on our Tax Free Digital Platform (www.taxfreeshopping.mu) has also doubled to more than 400. The platform caters for a privileged visibility to shop operators and shopping malls to promote their goods of exclusive brands whilst providing to tourists a trustworthy website whereby they can find tax-free products on display.

As part of the MCCI Tax Tourist Refund 20-year celebration, the platform is now available free of charge to all operators.
