Why BVI

The Virgin Islands, commonly referred to as the British Virgin Islands (BVI), is a British Overseas Territory consisting of four larger islands to the east of Puerto Rico in the Caribbean.

Formerly known as the BVI International Business Company or BVI IBC, a BVI Business Company (BC) is the most preferred offshore business structure in the jurisdiction. The name of the BVI business company was coined in 2004 after the enactment of the BVI Business Companies Act (2004).

This is a flexible structure that comes with several advantages, such as tax exemptions, privacy, and protection of confidential information. Moreover, you can use this business structure for asset protection, international business, forex trading, trust formation, and so on.

Taxation Policies

A BVI Business company is exempt from any taxation, regardless of its source of income. In short, BVI companies pay no corporate tax, no capital gains tax, no value added tax (VAT) and no withholding tax.

The same applies to dividends, interest, rents, royalties, compensation, and other expenses paid by a company. The only tax that exists in BVI is a payroll tax on the remuneration paid to local employees. The payroll tax rate is 10% for small companies and up to 14% for large employers. Eight percent of the remuneration can be reimbursed at the expense of employees, and the first US$10,000 paid to an employee each year is exempt.

A BVI business company is also exempt from stamp duty on transactions that relate to the transfer of property, shares, debt, assets or securities. However, land-ownership transactions are subjected to stamp duty ranging from 4% to 12%.

Accounting and Audit Requirements

Under changes to comply with international transparency standards some regulated entities include fund management, insurance companies and banks must maintain financial records and documentation that show their transactions.

Financial statements must be prepared, they do not have to be filed publicly unless they are trading companies engaged directly in certain regulated activities

Since there are no corporate taxes in the British Virgin Islands, there is no requirement to file a corporate tax return.
