Economic substance requirements for companies and Limited Partnerships

Following the EU’s Code of Conduct Group (Business Taxation) in 2017, the Council of the EU expressed concerns about the absence of clear general legal substance requirements for entities doing business in and through the BVI. In response, the Government made a commitment to implement reforms by the end of 2018 to ensure that BVI businesses have sufficient economic substance. The Government has subsequently discussed with the EU draft legislation to introduce economic substance requirements for companies and limited partnerships. The Government held discussions with the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) which has recently adopted substantial activities requirements to be applied to jurisdictions that levy low or (like BVI) zero corporate income tax. This means that substance rules will no longer be an EU standard but will be a global standard.
