Do I pay tax in the BVI?

The BVI charges the company no income tax. Section 242 of the BVI Business Companies Act exempts the company from the Income Tax Ordinance. The exemption also covers the dividends, interest, rents and royalties it pays, and gains on its shares. You or the company may still owe tax where you live or where the company is managed, so check your home-country rules first.
