FAQ

Honest answers about compliance.

Is Payroll.mu compliant with the Workers' Rights Act 2019?

Yes. Calculations for PAYE, CSG, NSF, PRGF, public holiday overtime, severance and end-of-year bonus follow the WRA 2019 and every published MRA guideline. Our compliance lead updates the engine within 48 hours of any amendment.

Can I file with the MRA directly from the platform?

Direct MRA filing is launching soon through filing.mu — our dedicated e-filing companion (coming soon). Until then, Payroll.mu generates the exact PAYE, CSG, NSF and PRGF return files you upload to the MRA e-Services portal in seconds, with receipts archived per employee, per year.

What changed for small businesses in the 2025/2026 Mauritius Budget?

Key wins for SMEs: progressive PAYE bands kept (0% up to MUR 390,000, then 2%–20%), the 3% SME corporate tax rate retained for qualifying small enterprises, a 15-year tax holiday extended for innovation-driven SMEs, widened HRDC training refunds (up to 75% on approved courses), and an extended Investment Tax Credit for manufacturing. CSG/NSF thresholds and the National Minimum Wage were revised — Payroll.mu applies every change automatically.

How does the new minimum wage and Special Allowance affect my payroll?

The National Minimum Wage was revised upward and the Special Allowance tops up employees earning below the legal threshold. Payroll.mu auto-applies the correct minimum wage, special allowance and PRGF contribution per employee — no manual recalculation, no risk of underpaying.

Why should a Mauritian SME use Payroll.mu instead of Excel or a generic tool?

Excel cannot keep up with WRA 2019, MRA circulars, CSG thresholds, PRGF, EOYB, severance and yearly Budget revisions. Payroll.mu is built specifically for Mauritius — every Budget measure, MRA guideline and Workers' Rights amendment is implemented within 48 hours, with an AI Labour Law Assistant trained on local legislation. You stop guessing, avoid MRA penalties, and free 6–10 hours per month.

Does Payroll.mu help me claim HRDC training refunds and SME incentives?

Yes. We flag eligible HRDC-refundable courses for your team, generate the supporting payroll evidence, and our partner QuickFocus.biz delivers HRDC-approved QuickBooks training. For tax incentives, SME schemes and EDB grants, Anexa.mu handles the filing end-to-end.

Do you handle the CSG split at the MUR 50,000 threshold?

Automatically. If an employee crosses MUR 50,000 mid-year, the engine adjusts the 1.5%/3% split to 3%/6% and flags the change on your dashboard. No more silent miscalculations.

What about foreign-currency payroll for EOR setups?

The Scale tier handles MUR plus foreign-currency billing, with employer-of-record workflows for global teams hiring locally.

How fast can I onboard and run my first payroll?

Most SMEs run their first compliant payroll within 30 minutes. Import employees from Excel, confirm contracts and salaries, and the engine produces payslips, MRA-ready returns and bank transfer files in one click.

Stop paying someone else to do what software does in 3 minutes.
