Specific Advantages offered by
Seychelles Companies
Seychelles
International Business Company
The Seychelles IBC is a zero-tax vehicle, which can do business
in any part of the world except the Seychelles. The IBC legislation
provides confidentiality; the disclosure of beneficial owners
is not a requirement, and any information filed with the regulatory
authorities is not available for public inspection. An IBC is
permitted to undertake a wide range of business but may not
conduct banking, insurance or act as a trustee of a financial
services business. IBC Companies cannot access Seychelles' network
of Double Tax Avoidance Treaties.
Seychelles
Special License or CSL Company
Unlike the IBC, the CSL may carry on business inside as well
as outside the Seychelles. The CSL entity is a Seychelles domestic
company (under Companies Act 1972), which is granted a special
license under Companies (Special Licenses) Act, 2003. The company
is considered to be a valuable tax planning vehicle as it enjoys
access to the Seychelles's double
tax treaties, and has broad appeal as an international holding
company, a service company or a headquarters company. It has
both some measure of confidentiality and low tax status (1.5%),
the latter being applicable on its worldwide income. It is also
exempted from withholding tax on dividends, interest and royalties
as well as stamp duty on property transfers, share transfers
and other business transactions. |
