(English Version Only)

The economic substance regime of the British Virgin Islands (BVI) and the Cayman Islands has now been in place for over two years. Although there is growing familiarity with its terms, the legislation and industry best practice in this area have continued to evolve and the substance requirements continue to have a material impact on businesses in Asia and the structuring of offshore transactions. We have invited Mr. Peter Vas, a Partner at Loeb Smith Attorneys in Hong Kong, to speak to you about the latest developments in this space.

 

The speaker first helped participants understand the three key concepts of "related entities", "investment funds" and "related activities", and then elaborated on the Cayman Islands holding company business, intellectual property business and financing and leasing business. The issue of economic substance requirements is also important, and the instructor explains step by step the process of the general test in the Cayman Islands. And the participants will have a comprehensive understanding of what notification and reporting obligations there are and the consequences of non-compliance. At the end of the seminar, the guest speaker explained in detail the role as a law firm and registered office service provider, providing relevant practitioners with, classification services, advice, support for filing work, economic substance solutions and restructuring of the five areas of work ideas, and the participants all said they benefited from the seminar.
