Key 2024 regulatory filing deadlines for BVI Approved Managers
ON THIS PAGE
These are the key regulatory filing dates for BVI approved investment managers in the year ahead.
Approved investment managers (Approved Managers) are approved by the BVI Financial Services Commission under the Investment Business (Approved Manager) Regulations 2012 (as amended) (the Regulations).
For our list of key regulatory filing dates for BVI funds, including incubator funds, approved funds, private funds, professional funds, public funds and private investment funds, see our briefing: Key regulatory filing deadlines for BVI funds in 2024.
Our BVI lawyers work closely with our corporate and fiduciary professionals at Ogier Global. If you have any questions or require assistance with the matters outlined, contact your usual Ogier contact or one of the team listed below.

Extension requests must be submitted to the commission within six months after the relevant financial year end. The maximum extension permitted under law is six months.

AEOI reporting

Annual reporting submission deadline for FATCA*/CRS is 31 May each year
|
Filings are made on the International Tax Authority's reporting portal: BVIFARS - BVI ITA.

Economic substance
|
Annual self-certification due within six months of the end of the applicable reporting period
|
Self-certifications are submitted via the approved manager's BVI registered agent by making a filing on the BVI's Beneficial Ownership Secure Search System (BOSS).
As an approved manager, significantly the manager will not fall within the statutory definition of "fund management business" for the purposes of the BVI's economic substance legislation. |
*We would generally expect an Approved Manager to be treated as a non-reporting financial institution for the purpose of FATCA.
