BVI companies are commonly used due to their flexible constitutional regime, their ease of administration and their tax exempt status. All transactions relating to transfers of any property, shares, debt obligations or securities are exempt from the stamp duty, with the only exception of the immovable property transactions in the British Virgin Islands.
It is a very popular offshore jurisdiction with flexibility in corporate structure:
- One director and one shareholder are required for the formation of the company, which can be the same person.
- Shareholder(s) and director(s) can be either physical or corporate body.
- There is no requirement of appointing local shareholder(s) and director(s) for BVI Companies.
Benefits of BVI Company Formation
