Johanne is the founder of Prism Chambers, a tax lawyer practising at the Mauritian bar. Johanne is also qualified as a solicitor of England & Wales since 2007 and has previously worked for many years in London, at magic circle law firm Linklaters LLP and in-house at US investment bank JPMorgan Chase Bank.

Johanne’s passion for tax is translated into her dedication in providing the best representation to her clients in all aspects of revenue law.

She has significant experience on tax legislation in the UK, Mauritius and a number of African countries and routinely advises multinational and domestic clients on their contentious and transactional tax issues. She regularly assists clients in connection with audits, investigations and assessments by the Mauritius Revenue Authority and appears for her clients before the Assessment Review Committee and the Supreme Court of Mauritius on tax-related matters.

Johanne believes that providing first class client services can only be achieved by coupling deep expertise in the relevant area of law with genuine dedication to serve the client’s best interests. These core values are at the forefront of her daily practice. She considers that one of the ways of achieving this is by adopting an innovative, holistic and flexible approach to law. This includes mentoring and supporting Prism Chambers’ tenants and other young lawyers in the legal profession and incorporating mindfulness in the practice of her vocation.

Tax laws and regulations applicable in Mauritius
Generally, amendments are brought to the tax laws every year by way of the Finance (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act (FA). The FA gives effect to the measures announced in the yearly budget speech delivered by the Minister of Finance, Economic Planning and Development. Further, secondary tax legislation may also be amended by way of regulations throughout the year. The Finance (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill (Bill) is drafted by the Ministry of Finance, Economic Planning and Development and contains the proposed amendments to the tax legislation. It is presented to the National Assembly where three readings of the Bill take place. At the committee stage, various amendments may be made to the Bill. A majority of the members of Parliament present must vote in favour of the Bill, following which it must receive presidential assent to become law. The FA comes into force once it has been published in the Government Gazette. The amendments take effect either on the same date or on any other commencement date prescribed in the FA.
