Offshore companies in BVI

The British Virgin Islands is the most active offshore zone, where the number of registered companies exceeds the population by several times. Against the background of recent international rules on mandatory confirmation of their economic presence, foreign investors have quite a logical question — where to get so many offices for each legal entity in the BVI? Offshore companies in BVI are spreading due to optimal business conditions. That said, the OECD requirement for proof of economic presence, can lead to business outflows. The British Virgin Islands is a self-governing British crown jurisdiction, with one of the longest-running offshore territories. Although administered independently, BVI jurisdictions are subject to British laws, the main language is English.

Because of the tax-free rules, foreign entrepreneurs continue to actively buy and form new IBC companies, including in the British Virgin Islands. Company registration has not lost its relevance for many reasons, primarily the lack of taxation in the country. There are no capital gains taxes, corporation tax, income tax, sales tax/VAT, inheritance tax, no restrictions on doing business in any country in the world, expedited opening of companies within 48 hours. The list could go on, but the main points of benefit to the businessman are already clearly visible.
