Seychelles IBCs do not pay Seychelles income tax on income sourced outside the Seychelles. There is no Seychelles capital gains tax, withholding tax, or inheritance tax on IBC assets. Your personal tax obligations in your country of residence may still apply to distributions or income from the IBC; consult a tax advisor in your home country.
The Seychelles does not publicly disclose beneficial ownership information. However, Seychelles financial institutions are subject to CRS (Common Reporting Standard) and FATCA reporting, meaning your ownership may be reported to your home country tax authority through these exchange-of-information regimes.
Yes. Seychelles IBCs can open corporate bank accounts, though this is increasingly challenging as international banks increase their due diligence requirements for offshore structures. We advise on compatible banking options that accept Seychelles IBCs as part of the formation process.
The IBC is best suited for holding companies, IP holding, and international trading where the operational substance sits elsewhere. Many jurisdictions' controlled foreign company (CFC) rules may attribute IBC income back to the individual owner. Operating businesses with real-world staff and operations may be better served by an onshore structure.
