CTA Reporting Deadline Approaching
November 11, 2024
As of January 1, 2024, the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) came into effect and imposed strict reporting requirements on many small businesses relating to “Beneficial Ownership Information”. The Act was introduced as part of the Anit-Money Laundering Act of 2020, which was part of the National Defense Authorization Act. The CTA aims to prevent individuals from concealing ownership of U.S. entities which facilitate financial crimes.
Reporting Requirements
The act imposes a requirement to file a Beneficial Ownership Information Report (“BOIR”) by January 1, 2025 for entities formed before January 1, 2024. Entities formed after January 1, 2024 face a 90 day reporting deadline and entities formed after January 1, 2025 face a 30 day reporting deadline.
