Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Seychelles IBC formation and maintenance

What does your role as licensed registered agent cover?
Mandatory local representation via registered office provision, statutory register maintenance, annual return filings, and renewal processing.
Can a Seychelles IBC open bank accounts?
Yes. Seychelles IBCs may hold accounts at EMIs and offshore banks worldwide. Our primary recommendation is fintech/EMI accounts for operational flows, with selective offshore bank introductions for larger holdings or specific business models.
Is there a requirement to file financial statements?
Seychelles IBCs are not required to file financial statements publicly. However, they must maintain accounting records internally and submit an annual financial summary alongside the annual return with the registered agent.
What happens in the initial structural purpose call?
Confirms goals, assesses Seychelles fit for your profile/counterparties, provides tailored KYC checklist, and outlines structure—confidential, no obligation, with response in one business day.
Is a Seychelles IBC tax free?
Seychelles imposes 0% tax on foreign-sourced income, capital gains, dividends to non-residents, VAT on offshore activities, and stamp duty on share transfers. Tax outcomes depend on where management and control occurs and the tax residency of owners. We recommend coordinating with your home country tax advisors.
Is beneficial owner information public?
No. Directors and shareholders of Seychelles IBCs are not listed on any public registry. The register is maintained privately by the registered agent and accessible only to authorised government agencies for AML purposes.
Do you provide professional director or shareholder services?
Yes, for legitimate governance and operational needs, within compliance boundaries. We do not support arrangements designed to conceal beneficial ownership.
