Advanced economies over the last few years have focused on implementing a global minimum corporate tax to thwart what is often dubbed a "race to the bottom”, or the concept of companies strategically shifting their profits from high-tax to low-tax jurisdictions to lower their tax rates. In 2021, world leaders endorsed a global minimum corporate tax rate of at least 15 per cent to encourage companies to pay their fair share of taxes and to limit the benefits of companies’ profit-shifting without biasing where they invest.
Debunking the myths: Participation in global tax initiatives, outlines how the British Virgin Islands (BVI) has signed up to multiple global initiatives which aim to improve transparency and aid in the fight against tax evasion.
This edition in the BVI360° series seeks to correct the inaccuracy in which the BVI is often referred to as a tax haven when it is, in fact, one of the most tax transparent jurisdictions in the world because of all the global tax initiatives it has signed on to over the last 20 years.
With ongoing conflicts and increasing inflation across the world, many leading economists are predicting a global recession in 2023. Now more than ever, the role of the British Virgin Islands (BVI) as a facilitator of investment, trade, and economic growth has become paramount.

Resilient BVI: Global Pandemic, we highlight how the BVI’s financial services industry has fared during the Covid-19 global pandemic. The BVI’s financial services industry agility allowed firms to continue operating remotely and working with clients throughout lockdowns and emergency measures.
The international business and finance centre maintained its role as a reliable facilitator of high-profile and high-value transactions throughout 2020 and 2021. This resulted in the industry experiencing the highest growth rates since 2018.
The BVI has established itself as agile, innovative and resilient financial centre, able to adjust to regulatory changes and rebound from economic challenges, natural disasters and global pandemics. International offshore centres like the BVI allow businesses to efficiently trade, transact and invest across borders, which expands markets and increases liquidity.
The BVI plays an important role in helping developing countries without easy access to capital to secure the funds they need for investment, and in turn driving economic growth, job creation and promoting entrepreneurship.
To explore this ever-growing area, BVI Finance and leading financial publication Opalesqu hosted a roundtable discussion with a panel of leading practitioners in the BVI.
