Seychelles is an island nation of 115 islands located in the Indian Ocean, northeast of the island of Madagascar and about 1,500 kilometers east of mainland Africa, 4 degrees south of the equator. As an independent democratic republic and an established offshore jurisdiction, Seychelles offers a variety range of offshore products which meet the increasingly demanding criteria of flexibility and adaptability. Besides, the regulatory environment has been carefully developed to adhere to international obligations of global best practices. The government also offers a lot of advantages to investors in order to foster local and foreign investment such as low government fees, non-resident tax free and tax resident low tax structures and growing network of tax treaties used for investment into other countries. In addition, it is an excellent place for investors to conduct business as it is ideally situated between the major trade and manufacturing channels of Asia, Europe and Africa.
