Now that Seychelles has been removed from the EU blacklist, what do you think one can use such a company for now and in the future? Or should we just conclude that it is useless and will never be what it once was, a really cheap and good alternative to ALL other offshore jurisdictions worldwide.

I have considered it a bit back and forth, but until I have found an EMI, I remain skeptical and waiting.

FATF is not EU. Seychelles is still on EU's list of non-cooperative jurisdictions. The EU very often follows FATF's recommendations and may remove Seychelles soon, though.

I think it was - according to the EU press release:

https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/...n-cooperative-jurisdictions-for-tax-purposes/

The Seychelles are on the "partially cooperative" list, i.e., cooperate and have pending commitments.
 
No EMIS or neobanks available for Seychelles companies any longer. You need to visit the island and their banks to convince them to open a bank account for your shelf operation.

And because they cooperate with any request from any government to disclose any information in their possession with official warrants.

Literally an email is enough and the disclose everything they have.

Yes , ABC bank accepts Seychelles companies. We do have one axcount opening for a Sey co with them being processed as we speak. Of course the operation must fall within their scope.

They do have a specific framework with what is not acceptable, something which is good as it gives a certain clarity. And yes crypto is still a restricted activity. They didnt mention anything about a kitchen though..🙂

Yes, on separate occasions. First one dating back to 2012/2013. Last one as recent as 2022.

Seychelles has since then one function and one function only; yacht or plane registration. I used to be a big fan of the Seychelles for all the obvious reasons. As of 2014 I recommend people to stay far away except for going on holidays

One possibility for this a TIEA (Tax Information Exchange Agreement), which aren't unique to Seychelles. Dozens of jurisdictions signed TIEAs with dozens of other jurisdictions between around 2008””2012 when focus shifted to CRS.

Tax havens were expected to sign a certain minimum number of TIEAs and most signed with the Nordic countries and a few other European countries just to satisfy the minimum.

Seychelles signed their first TIEAs back in 2011 and were initially heavily criticised for being to slow at providing information. They succumbed to that pressure while many others continued to find excuses to refuse or delay responses.

This is the probably the answer to your question.
