Two Paths. One Choice.
St. Vincent imposes steep penalties for non-compliance. Here's the contrast between both paths.
Our Compliance Services
Full-scope Saint Vincent compliance management — covering annual renewal fees, tax and economic substance returns to the IRD, financial statements for the FSA, and corporate record maintenance.
Annual Renewal Fee and Tax Return
Your St. Vincent company must pay an annual renewal fee to the Financial Services Authority by December 31 and file an annual tax return with the Inland Revenue Department within three months of their financial year-end. We manage both obligations, ensuring your entity avoids late penalties and stays active on the FSA register.
Dual Deadline Management
Track both the December 31 FSA renewal and IRD tax filing deadlines
Good Standing Assurance
Prevent strike-off through on-time fee payment and return filing
Economic Substance Return
Under the International Tax Cooperation (Economic Substance) Act 2020, companies conducting any of the nine relevant activities must file an annual Economic Substance Return with the Inland Revenue Department within four months of their basis period end. We assess your activity profile, compile the supporting evidence, and submit a complete return.
Activity Assessment

IRD Filing

Accounting and Financial Statements
Under St. Vincent law, your entity must maintain financial records sufficient to explain its transactions and determine its financial position.
