What Next
Once you’ve set up your company, you need to keep on top of the statutory requirements such as:
- Annual validation – all Guernsey Companies must file an annual validation with the Guernsey Registry between 1st January and 31st January each year. There are fines of £100 per month for late filing.
- Annual Audit waiver (if applicable) – most small businesses can benefit from audit exemption (see audit exemption rules – http://www.guernseylegalresources.gg/ccm/legal-resources/statutory-instruments/guernsey—bailiwick/2009/no-5—the-companies-audit-exemption-regulations-2008.en).
- AGM waiver – many small businesses may wish to waive the requirement to hold an AGM.
- Keep the company registers up to date.
- Record minutes and/or resolutions of the directors and shareholders in the Company minute book.
- A company must also file accounts annually with Guernsey Income Tax and complete a company tax return.
- Directors must notify Guernsey Registry of changes in the structure and management of the business.
