Enter a value and see every duty, fee and tax, for a Seychellois buyer or a non-Seychellois buyer under the 2025 rules.
For a non-Seychellois buyer the government charges sanction duty of 12 percent of the market value, raised from 11 percent when the moratorium was lifted, plus stamp duty of 5 percent and a processing fee of 1.5 percent, with a non-refundable application fee of SCR 3,000 on filing. Once you own the property there is an annual property tax of 0.5 percent of its value, the non-Seychellois rate that doubled from 0.25 percent in 2024. Foreign purchases are generally limited to property worth at least SCR 10 million with a dwelling, or at least SCR 4,000 per square metre. A Seychellois buyer pays the 5 percent stamp duty and the notary and registration fees, with no sanction duty and no annual non-resident tax.
