SRC offices open Saturdays for 2025 taxes on Mahé during March to give taxpayers more time to lodge and pay their dues before the deadline.
The Seychelles Revenue Commission (SRC) said its offices will open on Saturdays from 14 March to 28 March 2026. The measure aims to help taxpayers complete payments and submissions for the 2025 tax year. Taxpayers must submit them before the 31 March 2026 deadline.
The commission said the service will operate at three offices on Mahé. These are Maison Collet in Victoria, Leve Debrouye Building in Providence (Zone 18) and Maison Royale in Anse Royale. The offices will open from 7am to 1pm on the designated Saturdays.
The SRC said March is the final month for taxpayers to lodge and pay their annual or presumptive business tax. Therefore, the authority encouraged people to use the additional service days to avoid delays.
Sheryl Barra, Director for Taxpayers Education and Service Delivery at SRC, said the organisation previously used community venues to reach taxpayers.
“Usually during the month of March, SRC would decentralise its services across various locations using community centres on Mahé to ease the tax lodgment and payment process,” she said.
However, she said the opening of a new office influenced the decision to use existing SRC facilities.
“This year as we have opened a new office in Anse Royale and as SRC also have presence in Providence and Victoria, three key business centres, we have decided to use our own facility, which is familiar by taxpayers and our staff members, to elevate our service delivery,” Ms Barra said.
The commission said several services will be available during the Saturday openings. These include business registration, one-to-one guidance and advice, applications for tax clearance, and income tax and other certifications.
Taxpayers with arrears or penalties can also meet enforcement officers who will be present at the offices.
The SRC has urged taxpayers to submit their returns before the deadline. It also called on businesses that did not operate in 2025 to file a “NIL” business or presumptive tax return. This is required under the law. The authority said early submission will help taxpayers remain compliant and avoid penalties.
