Bye BOI! Probably. ???? The Beneficial Ownership Information reporting obligations are not being enforced until at least March 21, 2025, and probably won't be enforced, or won't apply to most businesses at all, after that. With more changes to its legal status the last three months than a celebrity couple's relationship, it appears that the good folks at the Treasury Department are finally going to put us (mostly) out of our misery. The law is currently not being enforced until an updated rule goes into place March 21, 2025. The Treasury Department also just announced that the updated rule will be substantially narrowed, and likely will just be enforced against foreign reporting companies. Foreign reporting companies are entities formed under the law of a foreign country. The final chapter on BOI isn't written yet, but following this tabloid-worthy page-turner the last few months, even the government doesn't want to enforce it any more. After all of that, it's hard to imagine it coming back in any meaningful form for most small businesses. You can read more here (https://lnkd.in/g4eGb8yB), but at this point why would you want to? #BOI #BusinessOwner #Legal
