In circumstances where there is a restricted Class II Trust license where the trustee of the BVI is located in a reporting model 1 jurisdiction (for example, Barbados) and the investments of the BVI trusts are held outside of BVI and distributions are made to discretionary beneficiaries in a calendar year, should the CRS reporting be done through Barbados or through BVI. The Barbados Trustee is a reporting financial institution for CRS purposes.
The location of a Trust (as an RFI) will depend on where the trustee(s) is resident. If the Trustee of the Trust is located in Barbados, then the Trust must register with Barbados and report its financial accounts there. The Trust will not register in the BVI.
