Economic Substance legislations are designed to protect the reputation of offshore jurisdictions by ensuring that streams of income from certain activities are based on actual local activity to substantiate the use of low tax jurisdictions.
As a result, many international finance centres have introduced their own substance legislation. This includes all the traditional offshore jurisdictions, including the British Virgin Islands (BVI), Bahamas and other strategically important jurisdictions.
Jurisdictions (PDF):Our investment funds practice includes all matters related to the life of a fund in the BVI, its establishment, management and termination. Attached hereto you may find self-explanatory documents which include general information about BVI Investments Funds.
