BVI Beneficial Ownership Regime – key exemptions – dissolved entities

The BVI has significantly enhanced its beneficial ownership regime (“BO Regime”) in 2025, including expanding and clarifying certain exemptions that are available following changes that came into effect on 1 July 2025. This series of blog posts details key exemptions under the BO Regime, with this post looking at dissolved entities.

Dissolved entities

Under the BO Regime BVI companies and limited partnerships must collect, maintain and (subject to certain exemptions) file up-to-date beneficial ownership information with the BVI Registrar of Corporate Affairs. Legal entities which had, before 2 January 2025, been dissolved or de-registered under the BVI Business Companies Act (As Revised) or the Limited Partnership Act (As Revised) and not restored are exempt from the filing obligation.

More information on other exemptions, key filings and updates to the BO Regime is available in our client update.
