Waar Britse Maagdeneilanden past in een structuur

Gebruikelijke rol · Top holding company

The BVI company sits above your trading companies or joint ventures and owns their shares, or acts as a fund's general partner. It receives dividends and holds assets with no BVI company tax, inside an English-style legal system. It relies on banking being lined up before set-up, because banks are keener on holding companies than on ones that trade directly.

Waar het van afhangtThe BVI gives you the wrapper, not the tax result: what you pay depends on where you live, and companies doing activities like IP or distribution, not just owning shares, must be run from the BVI with an office, staff and spending there.

Een bankrekening openen

BVI companies bank across the Caribbean, the UAE, Singapore, Hong Kong and — if the owner's profile is right — London and Switzerland. Banks are keenest when the company is used for holding assets, IP or a joint venture and the owner can clearly show where their money came from; less keen when the company trades directly. We check which bank will take it before we set it up.

Zo werkt de belasting hier

The BVI charges no company tax, no capital gains tax, no tax kept back on payments and no stamp duty when shares change hands. What the owners pay depends on where they live — the BVI provides the wrapper, not the tax result.

Echte aanwezigheid, en wie de eigenaren kan inzien

Since the Economic Substance (Companies and Limited Partnerships) Act, BVI companies doing certain activities — banking, insurance, fund management, lending and leasing, head-office work, shipping, holding, IP and distribution — must prove real presence there. Companies that only own shares get a lighter test; all others must be run from the BVI with enough spending, an office and qualified staff there. We build the evidence for this into every job.

Wanneer u hiervoor kiest

Choose the BVI when you need a fast, flexible, low-cost holding company inside a respected legal system — especially for joint ventures, fund general partners, IP holding companies and family-office holding companies, where keeping owners off a public register is legitimate and banking is sorted in advance.
