Corporate Transparency Act
Get up to speed.
The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) requires any non-exempt “reporting company” to submit to a federal database information about the entity, the identities of the individuals who are its “beneficial owners,” and for reporting companies created after January 1, 2024, the person primarily responsible for creating the entity and the person who filed the formation documents with a state authority. Reporting companies will submit the required disclosures to the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). The information will be housed on FinCEN’s “BOI E-Filing System,” which will be accessible to federal, state and local law enforcement agencies and, in limited form, to financial institutions and regulators.
Frost Brown Todd has a dedicated CTA Task Force closely following the important rule changes and their impact on businesses subject to the CTA. Our team can support your company in complying with these new requirements, conduct an analysis of potential reporting company exemptions and, if your company is required to register with FinCEN, assist you during the filing process. We are committed to keeping our clients apprised as the CTA takes effect and new information materializes. In addition to the resources below, you can join our mailing list to get the latest news and analysis regarding the CTA and its implications for our corporate clients.
