Does an IBC give foreigners an unfair advantage over residents?

No, because Seychelles residents are just as legally able to own and operate a Seychelles IBC as long as the IBC does not operate in Seychelles.

Seychelles also has a "territorial" tax system, which means that Seychelles residents are only taxed on their locally earned income. Therefore, there is no advantage for non-resident foreigners over residents.
