BVI Annual Financial Return
BVI requirement
BVI companies are now required to provide certain financial information to their registered agent on an annual basis in the form of an Annual Financial Return (“Return”).
What needs to be filed?
The form of the Return is a simple Income Statement and Balance Sheet.
The Return does not need to be audited and can be prepared under any of the recognised accounting standards.
Key dates and deadlines
The filing of the Return can commence from 1 January 2024 depending on the financial year end of the company which will have 9 months after the end of its financial year to make the relevant submission.
Penalty for non-compliance
Any company that does not file the Return within the required timeframe shall be liable to financial penalties which can increase, dependent on the timing of the delayed filing, up to $5,000. A company that has incurred the maximum penalty and whose Return remains outstanding may also be struck off by the Registrar.
Where a registered agent fails to comply with the previously mentioned responsibilities, including failing to notify the Registrar of non-compliance, they shall be liable on conviction of a fine up to $3,000.
