I lived in the VI years ago. As I recall they used the US Tax Code, but kept 100% of the revenue. It was, and probably is, the epitome of “big” government. For the population the government was disproportionately large.
They also had a economic development program then, funded by the US, but I believe one had to produce a product and have employees to take part in it.
