英属维尔京群岛(BVI)实益拥有权信息查询新规:“合法权益”制度

Insight

British Virgin Islands

1 min read

自2026年4月1日起,英属维尔京群岛(BVI)将实施“合法权益”框架,用于获取实益拥有权信息。

此次立法修订旨在确保BVI继续保持领先且合规的司法管辖区地位,同时保护个人隐私。仅具备正当及具体事由(例如调查或预防金融犯罪)的相关方能够查询实益拥有权(beneficial ownership,以下简称“BO”)信息,即信息披露仅在必要范围内进行。

哪些主体可以查询BO登记信息?

BO资料的查阅权限现已不再仅限于特定主管机关及执法部门,而是扩展至其他能够向BVI注册处证明其对查阅该等资料具有“合法权益”的人士。

  • 申请目的必须是调查、预防或侦查洗钱、恐怖主义融资或大规模杀伤性武器扩散融资活动;
  • •    申请所涉及的法人实体与某名因洗钱、恐怖主义融资或扩散融资罪行而被定罪,或正面临相关刑事诉讼程序的人士(即实益拥有人)存在关联;以及
  • •    申请人必须为例如律师事务所或其他专业服务机构的“受监管义务实体”(obliged entity),且根据BVI反洗钱、反恐怖主义融资或反扩散融资法律规定,负有开展客户尽职调查的义务。

然而,尽管申请披露资料的权利范围已得到扩大,但值得注意的是,新规同时允许实益拥有人基于安全顾虑或其他敏感因素等原因,申请长期豁免披露(standing exemption),或就个别查阅申请提出反对,以保障其自身权益。申请豁免或提出反对的相关理由,将于下文进一步说明。

获取BO信息的要求

如通过在线门户(VIRRGIN)申请查阅资料,申请人必须证明其具有相关权益,并提供可信证据证明该申请旨在调查洗钱、恐怖主义融资活动,或履行反洗钱 / 客户尽职调查(AML/KYC)监管义务。申请人还须就每次申请缴付75美元不可退还的查册费。

虽然实体以10%持股比例的门槛申报BO资料,但披露范围仅限于持有25%或以上权益的实益拥有人。

反对与上诉程序

BVI的制度包含了完善的制衡机制,避免个人信息被不当披露。当注册处收到有效请求时,将通知该实体的注册代理。

反对:相关实体可在五个工作日内向注册处提交“反对通知”。有效理由包括:有合理理由认为,披露BO信息可能使实益拥有人面临欺诈、绑架、暴力、恐吓等严重风险。

上诉:如果注册处在有异议的情况下仍准予披露,实体可在三个工作日内提交“上诉意向通知”。该提交将自动中止披露,直至注册处完成复核。

上诉委员会:必须在21日内向注册处提交正式申诉。以确保查询方的合法权益确实高于个人可能遭受的严重损害。

豁免情形

自2026年1月2日起,实体可以申请预先豁免,确保在第三方提出申请前保护其隐私。可申请豁免的理由包括:

  • 有合理理由认为,任何披露都会使BO或其配偶、同居伴侣、子女(亲生或收养)、父母或兄弟姐妹(全血缘或半血缘)面临欺诈、绑架、勒索、敲诈、骚扰、暴力、恐吓或其他类似伤害的严重风险;或 信息涉及未成年人或无民事行为能力人;
  • 信息涉及未成年人或无民事行为能力人;
  • 信息涉及或将影响BVI或其他司法管辖区的国家安全;
  • 注册处认为批准申请不符合公共利益;
  • 存在其他应予拒绝披露的特殊理由。
