Regulatory & Licensing Considerations (Seychelles)

Holding and investment structures
International trading companies

Cost-efficient long-term maintenance

Note: While Seychelles IBCs are tax-exempt, they must maintain accounting records for at least 7 years and provide them to the regulator upon request.

Annual maintenance includes:

Company annual domiciliary fee - EUR 1,900

EUR 200
Annual UBO data filing - EUR 350
Annual accounting records keeping - EUR 350
