Economic Substance compliance is a key regulatory requirement for Multinational Groups (MNGs) with entities in Seychelles. Because MNG structures often involve shared management, cross‑border income, and centralized decision‑making, determining compliance is not always simple.

To make this easier, we have developed a Seychelles Economic Substance Calculator that provides a quick, structured, and regulation-aligned assessment.

 

🧮 Economic Substance Calculator

[Please click here – Seychelles Economic Substance Calculator]

Use this calculator to obtain an instant, preliminary view of whether your Seychelles entity meets Economic Substance requirements.

Who Should Use This Calculator?

This calculator is suitable for companies that:

  • Form part of a Multinational Group (two or more controlled entities)
  • Operate across two or more jurisdictions
  • Prepare consolidated financial statements at group level
  • Earn income in or through Seychelles

What the Calculator Assesses

The calculator follows the decision‑making framework applied under Seychelles Economic Substance regulations and evaluates:

  • Whether the entity qualifies as part of a Multinational Group
  • Whether the company earns income that may be taxable in Seychelles
  • The nature and source of income, including:
    • Income earned from activities in Seychelles
    • Income earned outside Seychelles
    • Intellectual property income
    • Passive income
  • Whether the company qualifies as a Qualifying Company, based on:
    • Completion of statutory filings
    • Adequate human resources in Seychelles
    • Physical premises in Seychelles
    • Strategic decision‑making and risk management carried out in Seychelles (where applicable)

Understanding Your Results

Based on your inputs, the calculator will indicate one of the following outcomes:

  • ✅ Qualifies for Economic Substance – the entity broadly meets current regulatory expectations
  • ❌ Does Not Qualify for Economic Substance – gaps exist that may require corrective action

The results are indicative and intended to highlight potential risk areas. Complex group structures or income arrangements may require a more detailed review.

Why Economic Substance Compliance Matters

Failure to meet Economic Substance requirements in Seychelles can lead to:

  • Financial penalties
  • Increased regulatory scrutiny
  • Exchange of information with foreign tax authorities
  • Reputational and operational risk for the wider group

Using the calculator early helps MNGs identify compliance gaps before regulatory deadlines.
