对您的影响 How it could affect you
一般而言，如公司属于英属维尔京群岛的税务居民，并正从事上述任何相关经济活动，则该公司在英属维尔京群岛需要具有经济实质；如不符合上述条件，则没有附加的经济实质要求。
Broadly speaking, if BVI companies that are BVI tax resident are conducting any of the relevant activities listed above, then substance may be required; if not, additional substance should not be required.
如需要，现有公司在 2019 年 6 月 30 日前须遵照经济实质要求，在 2019 年 6 月 30 日之后的一年内履行汇报义务。
If required, existing companies will need to comply with economic substance requirements and meet the reporting obligation within one year of 30 June 2019.
新成立的公司须立即遵守经济实质要求，并在成立或组建之日起一年内履行汇报义务。
New companies must comply with the economic substance requirement immediately and are required to meet the reporting obligations within one year as of the date of incorporation or formation.
我们尚在等待英属维尔京群岛发布更多的实施细则，以了解相关经济活动的详细定义及可能对经济实质提出的具体要求。
We are awaiting further guidance from the BVI as to more detailed definitions of the relevant activities and also what substance might be required.
