HRDC REFUNDS

In order to encourage employers to provide training to a maximum number of employees, the HRDC offers grants as incentive. Employers can recover up to 75% of training costs depending on their tax rate.
 
The training may either be run in-house or externally by training institutions registered with the Mauritius Qualifications Authority, (MQA). Grants awarded by the HRDC are based on a cost-sharing principle, i.e., grants will meet only part of the costs incurred for training by employers since they are not intended to be a subsidy.
