Entrepreneurs from Cyprus who want to set up a company in Seychelles need to know that the two countries have signed a double taxation agreement which entered into force in 2006. Investors have several tax benefits, both in Seychelles and Cyprus, but for a proper understanding of this important convention, we invite you to get in touch with our company incorporation agents in Seychelles. They can also help you with opening a company in Seychelles.What are the provisions of the DTT signed by Seychelles and Cyprus?
Among the key features of the double taxation agreement signed between Seychelles and Cyprus, we mention that the interests, royalties, and dividends derived from Seychelles offshores are not subject to taxation, meaning that a withholding tax is not imposed for repatriated interests and dividends. Also, you should consider the following provisions that can help entrepreneurs understand better the tax structure for businesses in Seychelles:
- • a credit is granted in Seychelles if the company paid the taxes in the country of origins, in this case, Cyprus;
- • the capital gains as result from the share sales of a Special License company (CSL) is levied in Seychelles if the permanent establishment is in the insular state;
- • the tax rate of 1.5% on the worldwide income is applicable to CSLs, but a withholding tax which is paid in Cyprus can be credited instead of this tax;
- • there is no withholding tax rate applicable for CSLs on repatriated profits if the permanent establishment is in Cyprus.
We invite you to ask for information about the double tax treaties signed by Seychelles and Cyprus from our team of consultants in company formation in Seychelles. We also remind that our advisors are at your disposal with assistance if you what to set up an offshore in Seychelles.

The DTT supports the registration of IBCs as holding companies for Cypriot business entities.
