Where Is Seychelles?

Paradise on Earth is what they call the Seychelles. Seemingly forgotten out in the middle of the Indian Ocean, a thousand miles from Africa, this archipelago of more than a hundred islands stretches for hundreds of miles. The warm waters, high standards and friendly people draw many year after year to these Jewels in the Ocean that are the Seychelles. Island names such as Mahe, Praslin, La Digue, Aldabra and Amirantes have enchanted travelers for years. Whichever way you turn, there is a lovely beach and upscale dining. For honeymoons, the romance of the Seychelles has everything else in the world beat, bar none.

Why Seychelles?

Seychelles is a new off-shore jurisdiction offering the best in the current off shore legislation of the world. An IBC - offshore corporation in Seychelles offers a long list of advantages for company owners.

  • IBC pays no taxes in Seychelles other than the Government License fee;
  • Annual reporting (accounting, auditing) is not required for IBC's;
  • Only one shareholder and one director is required. Their particulars do not appear on public record. Moreover, our nominees are available to maintain owner's confidentiality;
  • Bearer shares are allowed;
  • There are no double taxation agreements with other countries, hence no information is shared with tax authorities;
  • There is no foreign exchange control;
  • It takes only 24 hours to incorporate an offshore company in Seychelles and
  • The fees are very affordable

  • 100% foreign ownership
  • 100% reparation of capital and profits
  • No withholding tax on dividends
  • No personal income tax and no other taxes connected with ownership, transfer etc.
  • Special incentives for investments in Export Oriented Unit (EOU) and Special Growth Area (SGA). (Should you wish to invest in Seychelles, please send as an inquiry stating goals, investment volumes. We will connect you with the Seychelles officials).

Welcome To Heaven

POLITICAL STRUCTURE: Discovery of the Islands is credited to the Portuguese explorer Vasco de Gama. The first French settlement was established on St. Anne Island on the 27th August 1770 and two years later this was followed by a settlement on Mahé on the site of what is now the capital city, Victoria.

In 1814 the Seychelles, along with Mauritius, were ceded to Great Britain under the terms of the Treaty of Paris. It was only in 1960 that the first gradual constitutional reforms were introduced.

The Seychelles had two main political parties during the 1960’s, the Seychelles People’s Progressive Front (SPPF) and the Seychelles Democratic Party (SDP). The two parties formed a Coalition Government in 1975 with Sir James Mancham, leader of the SDP, as President and Mr. France Albert Rene, leader of the SPPF as Prime Minister.

In 1977, Mr. Rene was installed as President of the Republic. Multi-party elections took place in 1992, and presidential elections were held later in the year with Mr. Rene retaining his Presidency, heading the executive arm of Government.

The legislative side of Government is headed by a National Assembly of directly elected Members. Seychelles is an independent republic within the British Commonwealth.

INFRASTRUCTURE AND ECONOMY: The Seychelles economy is primarily tourism and fishing based. Industrial fishing is on the increase and revenue is generated from production and the issue of licenses to foreign tuna fishing vessels.

The rapidly expanding financial sector, linked to the establishment of the Seychelles International Business Authority and a suite of progressive laws facilitating the establishment of offshore structures and encouraging inward investment, is now a significant element of the economy. Take up in the Free Trade Zone is promising.

The Port of Victoria's quay has two deep-water berths extending some 370 meters, and there is adequate space for container handling. The port is well equipped with modern cargo handling equipment and has more than 6,000 square meters of covered storage space. In addition to this, up to six large ocean-going vessels can be accommodated in the outer harbor at any one time.

An ever-increasing number of international banks and insurance companies have established either branches or subsidiaries whom, together with local management, accounting and legal firms provide clients with support.

Other contributions to the economy come from the export of coconuts (copra) and cinnamon. The export of Seychelles copra (coconuts) has increased greatly because of its high quality.

The Seychelles International Airport with its 3 km runway, and modern passenger and cargo facilities, is one of the finest in the Indian Ocean region. In addition to the national flag carrier, Air Seychelles, the airport is served by five other airlines, British Airways, Emirates Airlines, Air France, Lufthansa (Condor), Kenya Airways and Aeroflot. Regular scheduled services are to London, Paris, Frankfurt, Zurich, Rome, Madrid, Dubai, Bahrain, Nairobi, Singapore, Johannesburg, Reunion and Mauritius.

Mailing, Fax, Telephone And Office Facilities: As part of the domiciliary service fee we provide clients with a registered office address in the country of incorporation but clients may find it convenient to arrange for mail forwarding, fax and telephone facilities through our Switzerland, The Bahamas Islands, London or other Petro Funds world-wide offices. This service may be especially useful where, for example, the company is opening bank accounts. Normally the bank would address statements and other correspondence to the company at the address of the client but this results in a loss of confidentiality in that the connection between the company name and the client will be automatically made.

To safeguard against this mail can be directed to our offices and we can re-mail those letters in a plain envelope addressed to the client or otherwise as the client directs. An additional advantage of using our re-mailing services is that the provision of a re-mailing address through one of our prestigiously located offices in the onshore jurisdictions may allow the offshore company to appear to be domiciled on-shore and thereby give that company an added degree if respectability.

For example, your offshore company could quote Petro Funds London office address on its letterhead and thereby appear to be domiciled in the UK. This procedure is particularly attractive if the Hong Kong address is used as a Hong Kong company is not required to quote its registered office address on its letterhead. Thus if an offshore company were to quote a Hong Kong address it would be indistinguishable from the letterhead, from a normal Hong Kong trading company. The charge for this service is only $275 per annum.

Trust Services: Using a trust to own the shares of an offshore company can result in very substantial tax and non-tax related advantages which will accrue both on death and during the lifetime of the trust settler. These advantages may include:

Saving Of Inheritance Tax: On death, the Inheritance tax which would normally be assessed on the value of shares would generally be eradicated.

Asset Protection: Assets placed into trust are generally beyond the reach of creditors who might arise as a result of financial difficulties, divorce proceedings, litigation, etc.

Avoidance Of Probate: A trust provides a means whereby assets can be smoothly passed on to the next generation without the disruption, delays substantial costs, loss of confidentiality associated with the probate procedure which necessarily follows when assets are bequeathed by will.

Continuity: Trusts provide a means whereby assets can continue to be administered in accordance with the wishes of the settlor after his death so the weak can be protected from others and the spend-thrift can be protected from himself.

Lifetime Tax Savings: During lifetime, substantial income and capital gains tax advantages may result from setting up the trust. Using the service of one of our licensed trust companies, we are pleased to act as trustee for a suitably drafted discretionary trust and the cost of this service would be from US$500 for setting up the trust deed and from US$500 per annum for the provision of trustee services.
