For All Business Owners

Corporate Transparency Act

​

Passed in 2021 and put into effect this year, beginning on January 1, 2024, the Corporate Transparency Act (Statute 31 USC Sec. 5536) requires any and all businesses formed in the United States, as well as foreign businesses operating in the United States, to report information about the company owner(s), or more obscurely, person(s) who exercise substantial control over the business (CFO, Senior Officers, those with authority appoint or name officers, those who have authority to make decisions, etc.). This information is shared with the U.S. Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). The rules have and continue to change. The current rules are found at 31 C.F.R. 1010.380. More rules and interpretations will likely be forthcoming.
