    This is not a business act this is an enforcement Act 0 the FSC reaching their long arm into unregulated business. How can the BVI economy service when we decide to bring in so many administrative requirements (filing register of directors, filing register of members, filing register of beneficial owners, filing annual return, filing economic substance etc) most of which are $1000 per month penalty without limit if you make a mistake! This bill which brings substantial revenue to the FSC and rich lawyers and strangles business in the BVI should be kicked to the kerb as terrible
