Country, currency, income year and time zone

What it is

You choose your company's country when you sign up. For a company in Mauritius, CorpHands shows amounts in Mauritian rupees (Rs 100,000), uses Mauritius time (UTC+04:00) for activity times and reports, and follows an income year from July to June by default.

The country also sets the list prices you are offered and how invoices treat tax. Prices exclude VAT, which is added to our invoices where it applies. The interface is in English. French is planned.

What you can use it for

• Record budgets, CSR spending and receipts in rupees.
• Group reports, budgets and the CSR fund by income year (for example 2026-27).
• Change the month your year starts if your company's income year is different, for example a calendar year.
• Add your VAT registration number, if you have one, so it is printed on our invoices to you.
• Use Mauritius time for activity times, reminders and audit-log filters.

3. SaveAdd your VAT registration number if you have one, then save. Every report, budget and the CSR fund page now group your data by this year.

Tips and good practice

• Set the year before you record budgets and spending, because changing it changes how every report groups your data. The CSR fund's MRA share depends on the dates of the income year.
• Each invoice keeps its own currency and prints in it.
• The website has a Mauritius version at /mu with prices in rupees.
• Country notes on the website are general information, not legal or tax advice. Check local rules with your advisers.
