Hi. I registered for a tax account number (TAN) few months ago as I was going to a business. Unfortunately I could not continue with my project.
Do you know how to unregister/cancel my TAN? Will the MRA deduct any amount of money from my bank account if i have a TAN but not making any profit from my business?
Thanks.

When I left Mauritius in 2013, I filled out the tax form and specified on the form that I was leaving the country and would like to be taken off the business register. This was what I was advised to do when I called MRA.

So contact MRA and tell them your business didn't kick off and they'll probably tell you to do the same thing.

Thanks for answer. But now the tax form is filled online. They have updated their system and now you have the 'e-filing' where you have to submit your individual tax return online. When I submitted mine I wrote that I did not get any revenue during the past 6 months. Then the automatic calculator showed me that I have zero tax to pay. I don't know how the concerned authorities will check that. I think I will leave it as it is until I start my business.
