BVI Business Companies Act

Filing an Annual Return

Overview

Effective January 1, 2023, all companies incorporated or registered in the BVI are required to file a financial return (“Annual Return”) with their Registered Agent each year.

This new Annual Return requirement does not apply to companies that are listed, regulated in the BVI, file tax returns with the BVI Inland Revenue or are in liquidation.

Reporting Requirements

The Annual Return template comprises a balance sheet and profit and loss statement.

The company's Registered Agent must receive the Annual Return in the prescribed format within nine months after the company's financial year end.

The Annual Return does not need to be filed with any authority and will not be made available for public inspection. The Annual Return has no auditing requirement.
