Just when we needed progress, the 2026-2027 Budget has delivered another setback for Mauritian content creators.

The government announced a new 5% Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) on income generated through social media platforms. This measure specifically targets advertising, promotion, endorsement, digital content creation, and marketing services provided via social networks and similar electronic platforms.

While other countries are opening doors for creators to earn sustainably, Mauritius continues to add barriers.

This is exactly why our fight for equal monetization rights remains urgent. Major platforms still exclude Mauritian creators from the same monetization programs available elsewhere. Now, even the limited earnings we manage to generate locally face new deductions before they even reach us.

We are not asking for special treatment — only fairness and equal opportunity in the global creator economy.

If you believe Mauritian talent deserves the same chances as creators in other developed nations, sign and share this petition.
