Seychelles Tax Insights
Taxation of non-monetary benefits
In Seychelles, the taxation of individuals is governed by the Income and Non-Monetary Benefits Tax Act 2010. An employee is taxed at the rate of 15% on his emoluments and 20% on his non-monetary benefits. The employer withholds the tax at source and remits to the Seychelles Revenue Commission within 21 days after the end of the month in which the tax was withheld. The tax withheld is deemed to be the final tax on the emoluments of the employee.
Effective as from 29 December 2022, non-monetary benefits (for example accommodation and utilities etc) provided to an employee will be taxed at the rate of 15% instead of 20%. The tax will be calculated on the actual cost or taxable value of the non-monetary benefits. Previously, the non-monetary benefits were taxed on their fair market value. Further, meal allowances provided by the employer to the employees are now fully exempt from tax.
Also, where an employee receives emoluments in arrears, the employer should deduct income tax on the emoluments in the month in which those emoluments were due to the employee.
