Registering a Seychelles company
🌏 1、 Core advantages of Seychelles investment environment (2025 New Deal) 1 Zero tax system architecture upgrade

Comprehensive tax exemption: International Business Companies (IBCs) are exempt from corporate income tax, capital gains tax, and dividend tax, and only need to pay annual fees (approximately $500-1200).

Emerging industry privileges: Manufacturing, blue economy (aquaculture, marine biotechnology), and digital economy enterprises enjoy a 5-year tax exemption period and the removal of loss carryover restrictions (2024 budget proposal).

Trade convenience: Transit goods are exempt from tariffs, avoiding anti-dumping duties in Europe and America; No foreign exchange controls, profits can be freely transferred globally.

2. Privacy and Compliance Enhancement

Shareholder anonymity: Director/shareholder information is not publicly available, and the use of nominee directors is allowed. The court needs to obtain the information through judicial procedures.

Economic substance simplification: Pure holding companies only need to meet the following requirements: ① local registered agent address; ② Compliance filing of equity records.

CRS flexible response: Support architecture design to avoid information exchange (such as setting the ultimate beneficiary as a resident of a low tax jurisdiction).

3. Global Capital Passport

Standard for Chinese concept stocks: Tencent, Alibaba and other VIE architectures are preferred, and are 100% recognized by the Hong Kong/New York Stock Exchange.

Chinese name privilege: The only offshore jurisdiction that allows the registration certificate to display both Chinese and English names simultaneously (e.g. "Global Trading Co., Ltd.").

⚠️ 3、 Registration Core Requirements and Risk Avoidance (2025 Enhanced Edition) 1 Basic threshold

Name specification: English names end with "Limited" and "Corporation", and Chinese names are supported (with the suffix "Limited Company" and an additional fee of $200).

Registered capital: default is 50000 US dollars (no actual payment required), if it exceeds 50000 US dollars, the annual fee will increase step by step (e.g. 100000 US dollars → annual fee of 1200 US dollars).

Mandatory agency: Must be registered through a licensed agent in Seychelles and provide a local virtual address.

2. High frequency risk by 2025

Economic substance violation: Non pure holding companies fail to submit substantive reports → fined $5000-10000 (if trading companies need to prove contract signing and fund flow).

Annual review overdue: phased deadline (such as registration from January to March → annual review before November), overdue penalty of 33.3% -100% annual fee; After more than 5 months, the company is forcibly deregistered.

Shell account opening rejection: The rejection rate for bank account opening without business vouchers reaches 35% (supply chain contract+business plan required).
