International Business Companies Act information


Partners at Harneys made up 3 of the original 5 draftsmen of the Act.

The International Business Companies Act, 1984[1] was a statute of the British Virgin Islands which permitted the incorporation of International Business Companies (IBCs) within the Territory. The Act played in a huge role in the economic and financial development of the Territory in the 1990s. It has been called "the most important piece of legislation in BVI history since the emancipation".[2]

The original Act was copied widely by other offshore financial centres.[3]

St Vincent and the Grenadines also enacted legislation which is strikingly similar.[4]
