About Business in Seychelles

A traditional offshore zone with territorial taxation: foreign income is not taxed, while local income is taxed at a minimal rate (~1.5%). Provides a high level of confidentiality (shareholder and director registers are closed). Offshore registration is simple and inexpensive, no audit or reporting requirements, no currency controls. Suitable for holdings, trading companies, and crypto businesses. Drawbacks: offshore status means restrictions on operational activities in Seychelles (medium or large businesses cannot operate on the islands), and since the 2020s transparency requirements have been gradually tightening.
