What is the BVI annual financial return, and who sees it?

Last updated: Oct 21, 2026, 17:46 (UTC+08:00)

It is a yearly summary of the company's financial position that you give to the registered agent within 9 months after your financial year end. It goes to the agent, not the public register, and the agent keeps it for at least 5 years. The agent must report companies that do not file, so a missed return can lead to penalties from the regulator. We prepare it from your bank statements and records if you use our bookkeeping.
