Incorrect Financial Periods in VIRRGIN ES (2026-06-17)

Summary

This is a notice from the BVI International Tax Authority (ITA) alerting Registered Agents to a data issue in the VIRRGIN ES platform following its transition from the earlier BOSS(es) system. Previously approved financial period changes for economic substance (ES) purposes are, in some cases, displaying incorrect dates when agents attempt to make ES filings.

• Scope of issue: Affects financial period alterations that were approved by the ITA before 22 December 2025 (the notice later restates this cut off as 22 December 2026, so the exact cut off date is ambiguous in the source text) but now show incorrect dates in VIRRGIN ES.
• Action requested: Registered Agents are asked to send the ITA a copy of the final spreadsheet they originally received, listing each affected entity's company number and the correct financial period start and end dates, in the format shown in the notice.
• Exclusions: Entities for which a new financial period alteration has already been requested and approved directly in VIRRGIN should be excluded from the spreadsheet.
• Submission channel and timing: Spreadsheets should be emailed to compliancerequest@bviita.vg, and agents who have not yet submitted are asked to do so by 19 June 2026.

The ITA states it is working to update the affected records within the portal itself to reduce the administrative burden of reapplying for previously approved periods.

Key obligations

• Registered Agents that have not already done so should submit a spreadsheet listing affected entities' company numbers and correct financial period start/end dates to compliancerequest@bviita.vg by 19 June 2026.
• Registered Agents should exclude from the spreadsheet any entity for which a new financial period alteration has already been requested and approved in VIRRGIN.

Applies to

Registered Agents, BVI entities subject to economic substance (ES) filing requirements

Deadlines

• 19 June, 2026: Deadline for Registered Agents to submit the spreadsheet of affected entities and correct financial period dates to compliancerequest@bviita.vg.
