Belize Company Annual Fees
and What the Yearly Price Covers
Keeping a Belize company in good standing costs US$799 a year, and the same yearly price applies to a Belize LLC. For a company, that one renewal price covers the government license fee payable to BCCAR, the registered agent and office, the annual return, the business tax return and economic substance reporting; for an LLC, the license fee, agent, office and tax return. All of it is prepared and coordinated for you.

FAQ
What It Costs to Keep a Belize Company: Your Questions
Plain answers on what the yearly package covers, when it starts, the deadlines and how to pay.
The package bundles every recurring obligation your Belize company faces into a single fee. This includes the government license fee payment to BCCAR, annual return filing, preparation of the business tax return for the Belize Tax Service, economic substance reporting, TIN management, a registered office address, and ongoing document storage. Rather than juggling multiple providers and invoices, you get one predictable cost each year.
For companies newly formed through Expanship, compliance for the first year is already covered as part of your incorporation. The US$799 annual package kicks in from the second year onward. If you're moving an existing Belize company over to us, the package takes effect right away once the transfer is complete.
No. The US$799 fee is fully inclusive — there are no surprise charges or add-ons. Government fees, filings, and administrative services are all part of the package.
Belize companies must meet several deadlines throughout the year. The annual business tax return (BTS 290) is due by March 31, the annual return with BCCAR must be filed by June 30, and the government license fee is payable based on your company's incorporation anniversary. Missing any of these can result in penalties or your company being struck off the register. Our package includes proactive deadline tracking so nothing slips through.
We accept bank transfers as well as debit and credit card payments. Cryptocurrency is not supported at this time. After confirming your order, you'll receive an invoice with step-by-step payment instructions.
Yes. The annual license fee payable to the Belize Companies and Corporate Affairs Registry (BCCAR) is bundled into the US$799 package. The exact government fee depends on your company's authorized share capital, but regardless of the tier, it's covered — along with all filings and administrative services — at no extra cost to you.
The annual government fee, which is set by the Belize authorities, not by us, and passed on at cost, plus our own work: preparing and coordinating your filings, keeping your registered agent and registered office in place, and handling your company's annual compliance on your behalf.
