February 2, 2026
BVI Financial Services Commission: Updates to Statutory Filing Requirements
Key points
Temporary pause on fees and penalties Existing companies and limited partnerships (formed before 2 January 2025) can file ROM, ROGP, ROLP and BO information without filing fees or late penalties until 31 March 2026.
Important to note This doesn’t change the underlying filing obligations; it’s a temporary pause on enforcement. Fees and penalties return from 1 April 2026.“In penalty” status Entities that haven’t filed yet may show as “in penalty”, but no penalties will be charged during the concession period. Status will update once filings are completed. Certificates of good standing and incumbencies may not be available during this period.
Entities already in penalty Existing entities already marked as in penalty can now submit outstanding filings (with or without paying annual fees) up to 31 March 2026.
What happens next From 1 April 2026, the FSC will move to full enforcement, including penalties where applicable.
