Virgin Islands Commerce Report

AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Tax & Financial Services: The EU removed Panama and Vietnam from its tax blacklist but kept the USVI and Turks and Caicos on it. Separately, BVI officials say the territory is on track to exit FATF’s grey list within its two-year timeframe. Crown Land: Updated forms aim to simplify applications for residential grants, commercial leases and other land use, with electronic submission planned. Maritime: The BVI has more than 3,000 internationally owned ships under its flag and plans to expand into merchant vessel registration. Tourism & Transport: Two companies bid on the first phase of the BVI airport expansion. The Premier says higher charter licensing fees apply to all foreign-based operators, not specifically USVI vessels. Energy: The NDP says electricity subsidies are unsustainable and calls for more fuel storage and renewable power to ease costs.
