National ID card + Tax Account Number

Hi guys!

I'm relocating to Mauritius on the Premium Visa as a location independent contractor with income from the U.S. and trying to figure out how to obtain a National Identity Card and a Tax Account Number.

EDB says, "Where your income is being credited in your foreign bank and you will be simply withdrawing a certain sum via foreign credit or debit card for your expenses, neither your salary nor these withdrawals will be taxed in Mauritius". Is Wise considered a foreign, non-Mauritian bank? Or is it safer to just transact with a Barclays card for example?

I have written to RMS and Legis to request their assistance with income tax planning and self-assessment tax returns but no reply despite a reminder. I've also written to MRA to seek instructions on how to obtain a Tax Account Number to no avail. Well, I've understood I need a National Identity Card but can't figure out the requirements for a foreigner on the Premium Visa. Can someone here fill me in on the requirements? How soon can I get both the ID card and tax ID?

I'd be grateful if someone can recommend a well-established financial tax planner and certified accountant. Thanks a million!
