1.) The BVI is one of the tax havens in the Caribbean region. Tax havens are those territories which have zero taxes or in some cases very low tax regimes in place. Tax havens found today are mostly offshore jurisdictions like the British Virgin Islands. The main characteristics of offshore tax havens is that they provide genuine secrecy and privacy for clients in financial and other services and that most of the clients are not citizens of such countries.

The main function of offshore jurisdictions is to offer efficient instruments or opportunities for tax avoidance and for asset protection. It is complete tax exemption for all international business operated by non-residents (Seychelles and Belize IBC's), local tax exemption for non-residents of the jurisdiction (Gibraltar), zero tax on receipt and distribution of dividends (Cyprus and Denmark holding companies), favorable tax treatment through double treaties and agreements (Cyprus, Malta, Netherlands), zero income tax for all BVI Business Companies.

A BVI Business Company is exempt from the BVI income tax, the same exemption applies to all dividends, interest, rents, royalties, compensations and other amounts paid by a company, and all capital gains realised with respect to any shares, debt obligations or other securities of the company. No estate, inheritance, succession or gift tax is payable with respect to any shares, debt obligations or other securities of a BVI BC. All transactions and instruments relating to transfers of any type of property of assets, shares, debt obligations or securities to or by a BVI BC are exempt from the stamp duty, with a sole exception for land-ownership transactions in the British Virgin Islands, in which case stamp duty remains payable. The only money that an offshore company pays in the BVI is an annual fee which is paid to the relevant government authorities.
