The Department administers taxation in the following 7 areas: hotel accommodation, motor vehicle rental, house and land, income, payroll, liquor licences and stamp duty. The BVI Inland Revenue Department, working under the Ministry of Finance, is responsible for administering the BVI’s tax laws as well as collecting taxes and fees due to the Government.
