FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about BVI company compliance and annual requirements

BVI companies must pay annual license fees (also called government renewal fees), maintain a registered agent and registered office, keep proper statutory records, and file an Annual Financial Return within 9 months of their financial year end. These statutory requirements form the core of BVI corporate compliance. Depending on activities, some companies may also need to meet Economic Substance requirements and file related declarations.

Missing compliance deadlines results in escalating penalties and consequences. Late filing or overdue submissions initially incur fees, but continued non-compliance can lead to your company being struck off the Register. A struck-off company loses its legal standing and cannot conduct business until restored, which involves additional fees and procedures.
