i paid $10 per person at the airport when we arrived, and $20 per person at the ferry terminal (road town) when we left. This was last week

Just had a quote for a trip with Fly BVI in and out in June... they quoted the following for BVI entry/departure taxes...
BVI Airport Development and Screening Fee (EIS) inbound $37/pers. BVI Airport Departure Tax (EIS) outbound $20/pers.
Sorry - I realize this is confusing... The Airport Development fee is not payable on arrival, but is part of the overall ticket price collected by the carrier (this increases on March 1 from $25 pp to $37pp. The $10 pp Environmental fee is payable on arrival to the customs officer as Bradpitch92 says. The $20 departure fee is payable prior to clearing security as normal.

Just a note - some airlines (at least Seabourne and InterCaribbean) include the departure fee in the ticket so you don't pay at the window near security.

Best rule and one we always follows is have some 10"s and 5's in your pocket to pay taxes as different departure and arrival points have different fees - I know that sounds crazy but there is a difference arriving in EIS vs. Virgin Gorda or Anegada - same with departing. The small bills will let you navigate the "sorry don't have change' issue.

Jason, I booked tickets via InterCaribbean a few months ago, but I will be traveling after Mar.1. Do you know if customs will charge me for the increased fee ($25-$37 per traveler) on arrival? Just trying to prepare for arrival costs.
Thanks for all your helpful information in your posts! Not sure what they'll do. I suspect InterCaribbean will be responsible for collecting it somehow. Probably when you check in. Are you sure it's not already in your ticket price?
