Corporate Income Tax
Since January 2022, the standard business tax rates in Seychelles are 15% on the first SCR 1 million of taxable income and 25% on income exceeding SCR 1 million. For telecom, banking, insurance, and alcohol & tobacco manufacturing sectors, the rates remain at 25% on the first SCR 1 million and 33% above. Foreign companies are taxed at the same rates as domestic ones. Profits earned through overseas permanent establishments are not subject to Seychelles tax. However, foreign-sourced income without a permanent establishment abroad is taxable. Companies with sufficient economic substance may receive exemptions on foreign-sourced passive income, except for IP rights income (unless from patents linked to R&D conducted in Seychelles). A Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) tax of 0.5% on revenues applies monthly to companies with turnover of SCR 1 million or more. Small businesses (non-VAT registered, under SCR 1M turnover) may opt for a 1.5% presumptive tax on turnover.
