Will the Corporate Transparency Act affect your business?

Description

Abstract: Businesses soon may need to meet a new reporting requirement mandated by the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) and scheduled to take effect January 1, 2024. The CTA requires many companies to report beneficial owner information (BOI) to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. This article explains that the information reported is intended help prevent criminals, such as human and drug traffickers, from using anonymous shell companies to hide illicit proceeds.
