What consumer rights apply in the Seychelles for expired Giftcards?
No general right to redemption/refund after expiry if the limitation was clearly agreed; if terms are non-transparent or unfair, the FTC can intervene. (seylii.org)
Is there a legal rule in the Seychelles on the validity period of Giftcards?
No fixed statutory validity period for a Giftcard. Terms are set contractually (T&Cs); the Consumer Protection Act 2010 and oversight by the Fair Trading Commission (FTC) are key. (seylii.org)
What special rules apply in the Seychelles to the sale, issuance, or redemption of Giftcards?
T&Cs must be clearly stated (validity period, scope, fees, transferability). The FTC monitors unfair or misleading practices; for tax, the general VAT rules of the VAT Act apply. (Fair Trading Commission)
How are Giftcards treated for tax purposes in the Seychelles (VAT, single-purpose / multi-purpose)?
VAT system since 01/01/2013; no specific SPV/MPV regime in the statutory text. In practice, VAT is charged at redemption on the actual supply; general rules are in the VAT Act (SRC). (PwC)
