As well as paying tax in the British Virgin Islands, you might also still be eligible to pay some tax in your home country, and understanding the legislation behind this can be a challenge.
If you’re working in the British Virgin Islands under a permanent contract, many employers will handle your tax under the PAYE (pay-as-you-earn) system. This means that they calculate and process your taxes in the British Virgin Islands for you and then send you a net wage. Your income tax, public health insurance, social security and other deductions will all be covered by this payment. This is the easiest way to handle your income tax in the British Virgin Islands, but contractors may not be offered this service because of their short stay with each employer.
Anybody who can’t pay their tax in the British Virgin Islands through PAYE is left with the prospect doing everything themselves.
