0% Corporate Tax: No tax on profits generated globally, ideal for offshore activities.
0% Personal Income Tax: No tax on income for shareholders or directors, enhancing personal wealth retention.
No Capital Gains Tax: Profits from asset sales, investments, or intellectual property are tax-free.
No Withholding Tax: No tax on dividends, interest, or royalties paid to non-residents, optimizing cash flow.
No VAT or Sales Tax: Offshore companies are exempt from any value-added or sales taxes.
While the BVI imposes no direct taxes, companies must comply with international reporting standards, such as the Common Reporting Standard (CRS) and Economic Substance Ru
