The British Virgin Islands (BVI) is a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean Basin. Geographically, the islands are part of the Virgin Islands archipelago and are located in the Leeward Islands of the Lesser Antilles and part of the West Indies.

 

For several decades, the BVI has been considered one of the most popular offshore zones thanks to favorable legislation and extensive tax benefits for foreign companies. About 40% of all offshore companies are registered in the BVI.

 

From 2023, the BVI has come under the direct control of the British government. At the same time, the status of an offshore zone and a favorable tax regime have been retained.

Taxation and Reporting Requirements

Companies registered in the BVI as an IBC or BVI Business Company do not pay income tax in the BVI jurisdiction. Dividends, interest, income from the sale of assets from foreign sources are also exempt from taxation. There are no restrictions on the repatriation of profits and capital outside the BVI.

The bottom line

The British Virgin Islands have been one of the most popular destinations for registering offshore structures for many years thanks to its liberal legislation and broad tax incentives. However, recently the jurisdiction of the BVI has been faced with the need to bring the rules in line with global trends in combating money laundering.
