In the past year, the British Virgin Islands (“B.V.I.”) beneficial ownership information (“B.O.I.”) reporting regime moved from consultation and transition to implementation and enforcement in ways that may affect more than companies and their beneficial owners. Areas of the law that are potentially affected, include (i) beneficial and legal ownership and title, (ii) proprietary rights, (iii) shareholder disputes, (iv) creditor rights and secured lending, (v) fiduciary obligations, (vi) registered agent duties, (vii) privacy, (viii) cross-border confidentiality, and (ix) potential public law challenges to administrative decision-making.that may affect more than companies and their beneficial owners. In his article, Joshua Mangeot, a leading advisor on the implementation of the B.V.I. economic substance and beneficial ownership reporting requirements, points out that these are areas of the law that areprovides an update on the B.V.I. position, focusing on points most likely to matter to international tax advisors, family offices, corporate and fiduciary service providers, trustees, private banks, fund managers, litigators, and end-clients using B.V.I. companies or limited partnerships in cross-border structures. It raises potential issues regarding (i) beneficial and legal ownership and title, (ii) proprietary rights, (iii) shareholder disputes, (iv) creditor rights and secured lending, (v) fiduciary obligations, (vi) registered agent duties, (vii) privacy, (viii) cross-border confidentiality, and (ix) potential public law challenges to administrative decision-making. Clearly, the adoption of the B.O.I. reporting regime can be viewed to be the equivalent of the proverbial camel’s nose under the tent.
