In a significant development, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has introduced an interim final rule that effectively eliminates the Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting requirements for domestic companies and U.S. persons.
This move, aligned with the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), marks a pivotal shift in the regulatory landscape for businesses across the nation.
🔍 Key Highlights of the New Rule:
🏢 Reporting Companies
- Domestic entities previously classified as reporting companies are now exempt.
- Foreign entities registered to do business in the U.S. must continue to file BOI reports.
👤 Beneficial Owners
- U.S. persons are no longer required to provide BOI.
- Reporting companies are exempt from reporting BOI of any U.S. person.
- Only non-resident alien beneficial owners are subject to reporting.
📅 BOI Report Deadlines
- Entities that became reporting companies before the rule’s publication have 30 days from the publication date to file.
- Entities becoming reporting companies on or after the publication date have 30 calendar days from:
- The date of actual notice of registration, or
- The date a public notice is made by a secretary of state or tribal office.
⚠️ Updated and corrected reports must still be filed within 30 days, as previously required.
