Methodology & sources
Methodology - Seychelles (2026)
Educational model - not tax advice. Currency SCR. This calculator models the standard single resident citizen. Non-citizen employees and special groups are taxed differently.
Employee (Income and Non-Monetary Benefits Tax)
- Employed persons pay the Income and Non-Monetary Benefits Tax (IBT), the local PAYE on cash emoluments, withheld monthly by the employer.
- Income tax bands for citizens are published monthly and annualised here: 0% on the first SCR 102,666 per year (SCR 8,555.50 per month, the citizen tax-free band), then 15% up to SCR 120,000, 20% up to SCR 999,996, and 30% on the excess above SCR 999,996. Mandatory pension contributions are not deductible from the IBT base.
- Seychelles Pension Fund mandatory contribution: 5% of gross monthly salary as the employee share, withheld by the employer. There is no published statutory ceiling or floor on the contribution base.
- The employer pays a matching 5% Seychelles Pension Fund employer share (combined employee plus employer is 10%), so the total employer cost is gross plus 5%.
- Out of scope: non-citizen employees (no 0% band, taxed at 15% from the first rupee then 20% and 30%); the 15% Non-Monetary Benefits Tax on in-kind benefits such as a car or housing, which is payable by the employer; and special flat rates for stevedores (10%) and certain government or international-agreement programs (3%).

Self-employed (sole trader / Business Tax)
- Sole traders are taxed under the Business Tax Act on annual taxable profit (revenue minus allowable business deductions), not under the employment IBT bands.
- Business Tax bands: 0% on the first SCR 102,666 of taxable income, 15% on SCR 102,666 to 1,000,000, and 25% on taxable income above SCR 1,000,000.
- There is no mandatory pension contribution for the self-employed; Seychelles Pension Fund participation is voluntary, so it is modelled as 0.
- Out of scope: the simplified Presumptive Tax regime, a flat 1.5% on annual turnover (gross receipts, no deductions) available as an alternative for turnover below SCR 1,000,000.
