Jurisdiction overview: British Virgin Islands
The British Virgin Islands (BVI) is one of the most popular offshore jurisdictions in the world. Company registration in the BVI allows entrepreneurs to conduct international business with minimal tax burden and a high level of confidentiality. A BVI Business Company is exempt from corporate tax, dividend tax, and capital gains tax – provided the income is earned outside the BVI. There are no requirements for accounting, auditing, or minimum share capital.
The registration process takes 6–8 business days and is fully remote. Shareholder information is not disclosed, and the jurisdiction offers flexible conditions for holding structures, investment vehicles, and asset protection. Despite global regulatory changes, the BVI remains a reliable solution for international business, tax planning, and wealth preservation.
Main features of the jurisdiction
Legal system: English common law with progressive offshore adaptation
Currency: US dollar (USD), official means of payment
Taxes: 0% on profit, dividends, royalties, and capital gains – provided the activity is conducted outside BVI. No VAT, property tax, or currency controls
Reporting: As of January 1, 2023, all BVI companies, including previously inactive ones, are required to file an Annual Financial Return (AFR) – a simplified report (balance sheet + P&L) with their registered agent, without audit. Exceptions: publicly traded companies, licensed financial institutions, and companies in liquidation
Confidentiality: The register of beneficial owners is closed; director data is partially accessible since 2023, but ownership structure is not disclosed
Regulators: BVI Financial Services Commission (FSC), BOSS System (Beneficial Ownership Secure Search)
BVI remains one of the most convenient and prestigious jurisdictions for international projects where status, flexibility, and confidentiality matter.

Last year we switched our company to Finextwin and now we renew our Anjouan Gambling license with them. This was our best decision because long-term partnership and no hidden fees are important to us.
We urgently needed a company in the US to raise our first round of investment. Alex suggested registering in California. Everything went well. We received funding and all thanks to the Finextwin team.
A business partner recommended Finextwin for company formation in Hong Kong. I worked directly with Alex - he was responsive, professional, and clearly knew what he was doing. The entire process took just a few business days. Top-notch service.
