Seychelles
Africa
Seychelles is genuinely territorial with no personal income tax, capital gains tax or inheritance tax on non-employment income, and an IBC costs just USD 130 to register. But economic substance now follows multinational group membership rather than company size, the advertised Workcation Retreat nomad permit is dead, and Seychelles has zero licensed VASPs two years into its virtual asset law.
