Starting January 1, 2024, the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) mandates that certain business entities report detailed information about their beneficial owners to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). This new requirement, known as Beneficial Ownership Information Reporting (BOIR), aims to enhance transparency and combat financial crimes. Non-compliance can result in fines as high as $500 per day.

Who Needs to Report: Corporations, LLCs, and similar entities must file, but there are exemptions for large operating companies, government entities, publicly traded companies, financial institutions, tax-exempt entities, inactive entities, subsidiaries of exempt entities, and other regulated entities.

What to Report: Detailed information about beneficial owners, including full legal names, addresses, dates of birth, and unique identifying numbers from official documents such as passports or driver’s licenses.

Deadlines:

• Entities Created Before January 1, 2024: Must file by January 1, 2025.
• New Entities registered after January 1, 2024: Must file within 90 days of formation.
• Ongoing Requirements: Report any changes in beneficial ownership within 30 days.

Why Compliance Matters: Failing to meet BOIR requirements can lead to severe penalties, including fines of up to $500 per day for non-compliance. Accurate and timely reporting helps ensure your business stays compliant and avoids these costly fines. Compliance also contributes to a more transparent and secure business environment, helping to combat financial crimes such as money laundering and terrorism financing.
