12-4-2024 Important Update
BREAKING UPDATE: The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas has issued a preliminary injunction blocking the U.S. Department of Treasury from enforcing the reporting requirements of the beneficial ownership information (BOI) of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA).
What does this mean for business?
The court’s preliminary injunction essentially removes the obligation for business owners to comply with the CTA reporting mandates.
What should I do if I have already filed a BOI report?
Legal experts recommend that businesses and organizations contact their legal advisors with any detailed questions about the CTA and/or BOI’s previous requirements.
Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) refers to identifying information about the individuals who directly or indirectly own or control a company.
Why Do Companies Have to Report BOI?
In 2021, Congress passed the Corporate Transparency Act on a bipartisan basis. This law created a new beneficial ownership information reporting requirement as part of the U.S. government’s efforts to make it harder for bad actors to hide or benefit from their ill-gotten gains through shell companies or other opaque ownership structures.
