The Nigeria Tax Act 2025 replaced the old relief structure with a 0% band on the first ₦800,000 and rates rising to 25%, while pension contributions of 8% come off before PAYE. Rents in the prime districts are often quoted in dollars and have repriced with the naira, so housing is the largest swing factor in any offer.
Port Louis, Mauritius
The first MUR 500,000 of chargeable income is tax-free, then 10% and 20%, with CSG and NSF deducted on top. Island logistics make imported food and vehicles expensive, and rents near the waterfront have risen with the finance and hospitality sectors.
