At the beginning of this year, the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) began requiring many businesses to report their beneficial ownership information (BOI) to the U.S. Treasury’s FinCEN. This is part of a larger effort to prevent financial crimes and enhance transparency. Businesses that must file should provide details on owners with at least 25% ownership or substantial control. The deadline for compliance is January 1, 2025. Non-compliance could result in fines or penalties. LEARN MORE: https://fincen.gov/boi
