The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), which became effective in 2024, requires many businesses to report their beneficial ownership information (BOI) to the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). The primary goal is to combat money laundering, tax evasion, and other illicit activities by creating greater transparency regarding business ownership.
Businesses Most Affected by the Corporate Transparency Act:
- Small Corporations and LLCs: The CTA particularly affects small, privately held companies and LLCs with minimal compliance requirements previously. These include:
- Single-member LLCs
- Small family-owned businesses
- Shell companies
- Newly Formed Entities: New businesses must file beneficial ownership reports within 30 days of formation.
- Existing Corporations/LLCs: Companies formed before the act’s enforcement will also need to file reports, giving them a transition period for compliance.
- Inactive Businesses: Entities that may be inactive but still formally registered must report ownership unless exempted.
- Non-exempt Domestic and Foreign Entities: Any U.S. or foreign company that is registered to do business in the U.S. but does not fall under certain exemptions (e.g., large companies, heavily regulated entities like banks, publicly traded companies) must report.
- Small Investment Firms, Trusts, and Partnerships: If structured in a way that they do not fall under any exemptions, these entities will also need to comply.
Exempt Entities:
- Large operating companies (with over 20 employees and more than $5 million in revenue)
- Entities already regulated by the government (such as banks or publicly traded companies)
- Certain inactive entities
