企業(yè)所得稅
COMPANY TAX

所有在英屬維爾京群島（BVI）注冊成立的公司，或在英屬維爾京群島管理和控制的公司都被視為居民，并因此可能根據(jù)英屬維爾京群島所得稅法第206章被征收所得稅。然而，英屬維爾京群島商業(yè)公司法(2004)提供了對英屬維爾京群島所得稅法第206章要求的一般豁免，如下：
All companies incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) or managed and controlled in the British Virgin Islands are treated as resident and, therefore potentially chargeable to income tax under the British Virgin Islands Income Tax Act, Chapter 206. However the BVI Business Companies Act 2004 provides a general exemption from the requirements of the British Virgin Income Tax Act, Chapter 206 for:

?所有的英屬維爾京群島商業(yè)公司
? All BVI business companies

?所有股息，利息，租金，特許權(quán)使用費，賠償由公司支付的其他款項
? All dividend, interest, rental, royalties, compensation and other amounts paid by a company

?所有通過一個商業(yè)公司的債務(wù)和股權(quán)實現(xiàn)的資本利得。
? All capital gains realised with respect to any shares, debt obligations of a business company.

此外，商業(yè)公司法規(guī)定，關(guān)于一個商業(yè)公司的任何股權(quán)、債務(wù)以及其他有價證券，房產(chǎn)、遺產(chǎn)、繼承、或贈與稅率，征稅，關(guān)稅或其他稅收都不是應(yīng)付的。一個公司是免征印花稅的，除非該票據(jù)涉及在英屬維爾京群島土地的轉(zhuǎn)讓或擁有土地公司（位于英屬維爾京群島的土地）的有價證券的轉(zhuǎn)讓。
In addition, the Business Companies Act provides that no estate, inheritance, succession or gift tax rate, levy, duty or other charge is payable with respect to any shares, debt obligations or other securities of a business company. A company is exempt from stamp duty except where the instrument relates to the transfer of an interest in land in the BVI or the transfer of securities of a land owning company (the land situated in the BVI).

自2005年1月1日起，隨著英屬維爾京群島工資稅法2004生效，英屬維爾京群島對所有企業(yè)實體實行零稅率的所得稅制度。
Also since 1 January 2005, with the coming into force of the BVI Payroll Taxes Act 2004, the British Virgin Islands adopted a zero-rated income tax regime for all corporate entities.

然而，公司必須向英屬維爾京群島金融服務(wù)委員會支付初始的注冊費和每年的牌照費。目前的注冊費為350美元（1100美元，如果該公司被授權(quán)發(fā)行超過50,000股），每年的牌照費是350美元或1100美元，如果該公司被授權(quán)發(fā)行超過50,000股。
Companies must, however, pay an initial registration fee and an annual licence fee to the BVI Financial Services Commission. The current registration fee is US$350 (US$1,100 if the company is authorised to issue more than 50,000 shares) and the annual licence fee is $350 or US$1,100 if the company is authorised to issue more than 50,000 shares.

對運營對象保密的公司初始注冊費和每年的牌照費是5000美元。
The initial registration fee and an annual licence fee for a restricted purpose company is US$5,000.

B.應(yīng)納稅所得額的確定
b. determination of taxable income

沒有收入或資本收益稅。也沒有遺產(chǎn)稅、繼承稅或贈與稅。
There are no taxes on income or capital gains. There are no death duties, inheritance taxes or gift taxes.

C.涉外稅收減免
c. foreign tax relief

由于沒有雙重征稅安排，不適用稅收減免，因為在英屬維爾京群島不對收入征稅。
This is not applicable as there are no double tax arrangements because there is no taxation on income in the BVI.

D.企業(yè)集團
d. corporate Groups

因為沒有收入或資本利得稅，所以沒有集團稅收減免的立法。
There is no group tax relief legislation as there are no taxes on income or capital gains.

e. related party transaction

在英屬維爾京群島沒有轉(zhuǎn)讓定價或關(guān)聯(lián)方立法。

F.預(yù)提稅
f. withholding tax

對英屬維爾京群島商業(yè)公司支付的利息、股息或特許權(quán)使用費沒有預(yù)提稅。然而，英屬維爾京群島（同其他附屬地一樣）已自2005年7月1日采用歐洲聯(lián)盟（歐盟）的儲蓄指令。已對向歐盟范圍內(nèi)居住的自然人支付的利息征收預(yù)提稅（稅率最初是15％，從2008年7月1日上升至20％）。預(yù)提稅不是強制性的，存款人可以通過向居住國當(dāng)局提供他們賬戶的全部信息來避免支付預(yù)提稅。
There is no withholding tax on interest, dividends or royalties paid by BVI business companies. However, the BVI (like other dependent territories) has applied the European Union (EU) Savings Directive since 1 July 2005. A withholding tax (initially 15%, rising to 20% from 1 July 2008) has been applied to interest payments to natural persons resident within the EU. The withholding tax is not compulsory in that a depositor can avoid paying the tax by instead providing full information about their account to the authorities within their country of residence.

G.外匯管制
G. exchange control

美元是在英屬維爾京群島的法定貨幣。對流入或流出英屬維爾京群島的美元資金或者美元和其他貨幣的轉(zhuǎn)換都沒有外匯管制或限制。
The US dollar is legal tender in the BVI. There is no exchange control or restriction on the movement of US dollar funds into or out of the BVI or on their conversion to other currencies.

H.個人所得稅
H. personal tax

自2005年1月1日起，遵從實行的英屬維爾京群島的2004年工資稅法，所得稅一直是0稅率。
Since 1 January 2005, income tax has been zero-rated following the introduction of the BVI Payroll Taxes Act 2004.

工資稅
PAYROLL TAX

每名在英屬維爾京群島進行業(yè)務(wù)的雇主，在下列方面有責(zé)任支付工薪稅：
Every employer who carries on business in the BVI is liable to pay payroll tax in respect of:

（1）支付給每一位員工的薪酬
(1) Remuneration paid by them to every employee

（2）對完全或主要在英屬維爾京群島的員工或視為員工提供的服務(wù)，雇主向每個視為員工支付的薪酬，不論該薪酬是否在英屬維爾京群島支付。
(2) Deemed remuneration paid by them to every deemed employee for services rendered by the employee or deemed employee wholly or mainly in the BVI whether or not the remuneration is paid in the BVI.

個體經(jīng)營者也有責(zé)任對他們被視為的薪酬支付工資稅。在英屬維爾京群島進行業(yè)務(wù)的合伙企業(yè)的合伙人被視為合伙企業(yè)的員工，如果合伙人向合伙企業(yè)提供了服務(wù)并分享了（與一般員工不同）合伙企業(yè)的收入。同樣地，在英屬維爾京群島進行業(yè)務(wù)的公司的股東被視為公司的員工，如果股東向公司提供了服務(wù)并分享了（與一般員工不同）公司的收入。
A self-employed person is also liable to payroll tax on their deemed remuneration. A partner in a partnership carrying on business in the BVI is a deemed employee of that partnership if he renders services to the partnership and participates, otherwise than as employee, in the income of the partnership. Likewise, a shareholder in a company carrying on business in the BVI is a deemed employee of that company if he renders services to the company and participates, otherwise than as employee, in the income of the company.

薪酬的定義包括：工資、薪金、通過利潤分享計劃支付的款項、獎金、退休金、遣散費、住宅租金及其他類似收益。
Remuneration is defined to include wages, salaries, money paid through a profitsharing scheme, bonuses, gratuities, severance pay, residential rent and other benefits-in-kind.

工資稅的稅率取決于雇主是否是1類雇主或2類雇主。1類員工是較小的實體，在有關(guān)財政年度不超過以下臨界值：
The rate of payroll tax depends on whether the employer is a Class 1 Employer or a Class 2 Employer. Class 1 employees are smaller entities which does not exceed the following thresholds in the relevant financial year.

雇主類型　　　　　　　　　　　1類　　　　　　　　　　2類
Employer category 　　 　　　 　Class 1　　　　　　　　Class 2

I.協(xié)定和非協(xié)定預(yù)提稅
i. treaty and non-treaty withholding taxes

英國與日本和瑞士的簽定的避免雙重征稅協(xié)定（DTAs）適用范圍已擴展到英屬維爾京群島，盡管這些協(xié)定并沒有實際應(yīng)用。英屬維爾京群島最先執(zhí)行生效的是稅務(wù)信息交換協(xié)議（簡稱TIEAs）而不是DTAs。英屬維爾京群島已與下列國家簽訂了TIEAs：阿魯巴島，澳大利亞，中國，丹麥，法羅群島，芬蘭，法國，格陵蘭，冰島，愛爾蘭，荷蘭，荷屬安的列斯群島，新西蘭，挪威，瑞典，英國和美國。
The United Kingdom's double tax treaties (DTAs) with Japan and Switzerland have been extended to the BVI, although these treaties are not used in practice. The priority of the BVI has been to enter into Tax Information Exchange Agreements or TIEAs rather than DTAs. The BVI has entered into TIEAs with the following jurisdictions: Aruba, Australia, China, Denmark, Faroe Islands, Finland, France, Greenland, Iceland, Ireland, Netherlands, Netherlands Antilles, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, United Kingdom, and the United States.
