I made a couple of calls and here is what I was told. The new tax applies to all boats that are not home ported in the BVI, private or commercial. If a boat is BVI based then they are exempt coming and going.
I am not sure I understand the discussion on a war between the BVI and USVI. As far as I know the USVI has not imposed any new taxes on BVI vessels. It is very cheap to clear in and out.
