offshore company formation, incorporation and registration in Seychelles from Chesterfield Offshore
 

Seychelles Offshore Company Formation

The Republic of Seychelles consists of a group of islands in the Indian Ocean at longitude 55 deg. East and 4 deg. South. Originally a French colony, it was acquired by the British and became independent in 1976. The capital and financial centre is Victoria.

In 1994 the Seychelles introduced legislation, which enabled the formation of international business companies and international trusts and covering the licensing of International Trade Zone companies.

The Seychelles International Business Authority regulates the financial services sector, which licenses businesses, which engage in offshore banking, offshore mutual fund and offshore insurance activities and the formation of offshore companies and trusts.

Seychelles Taxation

International Business Companies pay a fixed annual license fee, according to the size of the authorised capital. A special license company, i.e. a company operating in the International Free Trade Zone pays at 1.5% on its worldwide income.
