BVI Beneficial Ownership Regime – key exemptions – subsidiaries of BVI 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 subsidiaries of BVI entities.

Subsidiaries of BVI 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. Subsidiaries of entities subject to the BO Regime, based on direct / indirect ownership or control, of 75% or more of the voting rights, are exempt from the filing obligation.

For more information on other exemptions, key filings and updates to the BO Regime, please see our client update.
