On March 21, 2025, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) issued an interim final rule that removes the requirement for U.S. companies and U.S. persons to report beneficial ownership information (BOI) under the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA). Foreign companies are still required to report their beneficial ownership information under this rule and must do so 30 days from the date of publication.

FAQs

  • What is a beneficial owner?
    The final FinCEN rule defines a beneficial owner as follows: “the term “beneficial owner,” with respect to a reporting company, means any individual who, directly or indirectly, either exercises substantial control over such reporting company or owns or controls at least 25 percent of the ownership interests of such reporting company.
  • Which types of organizations are considered reporting companies?
    Beneficial Ownership Information reports must be filed by domestic reporting companies and foreign reporting companies. A domestic reporting company is defined as an entity that is a corporation, LLC or other entity created by the filing of a document with a secretary of state or similar office under the laws of a state or Indian tribe. A foreign reporting company is an entity that is a corporation, LLC, or other entity created under the law of a foreign country and registered to do business in any state or tribal jurisdiction by filing a document with a secretary of state or similar office under the law of a state or Indian tribe.
