Key BVI compliance deadlines at a glance
Miss one and the penalties start. Here are the dates most BVI companies and employers work to.
| Obligation | Who it applies to | Deadline |
|---|---|---|
| Annual financial return | Most BVI business companies and limited partnerships | Within 9 months of the financial year end, filed with your registered agent |
| Economic substance report | BVI companies and limited partnerships | Within 6 months of the financial year end, reported to the International Tax Authority through your registered agent |
| Payroll tax, Social Security and NHI | Employers in the BVI | Regular returns and payments to Inland Revenue, Social Security and NHI |
| Trade licence | Businesses trading in the BVI | Fees paid every year |
With a 31 December year end, the annual financial return is due by 30 September the following year. Late filing triggers penalties that grow each month, and your registered agent must report it to the Registrar. This calendar is general guidance, not legal advice.
