Beneficial Ownership Information reporting
What is the Beneficial Ownership Information Filing
The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) established a beneficial ownership information requirement (BOI) under the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) whereby most U.S entities must report information on their beneficial owners to FinCEN starting on January 1, 2024.
When should the BOI report be filed
FinCEN launched the BOI E-Filing website for reporting beneficial ownership information (https://boiefiling.fincen.gov) on January 1, 2024.
- A reporting company created or registered to do business before January 1, 2024, will have until January 13, 2025, to file its initial BOI report.
- A reporting company created or registered in 2024 will have 90 calendar days to file after receiving actual or public notice that its creation or registration is effective.
- A reporting company created or registered on or after January 1, 2025, will have 30 calendar days to file after receiving actual or public notice that its creation or registration is effective.
Who should file a BOI report
Companies required to report are called reporting companies. There are two types of reporting companies:
- Domestic reporting companies are corporations, limited liability companies, and any other entities created by the filing of a document with a secretary of state or any similar office in the United States.
- Foreign reporting companies are entities (including corporations and limited liability companies) formed under the law of a foreign country that have registered to do business in the United States by the filing of a document with a secretary of state or any similar office.
Which entities are exempt from filing BOI reports
There are 23 exemptions available...
Securities reporting issuers, Governmental authority, Banks, Credit Unions, Depository institution holding companies, Money services business, Broker or dealers in securities, Securities exchange or Clearing agency, Other Exchange Act registered entity, Investment company or Investment advisors, Venture capital fund advisers, Insurance companies, State-
licensed insurance producer, Commodity Exchange Act registered entity, Accounting firms, Public Utility, Financial market utility, Pooled investment vehicle, Tax-Exempt entity, Entity assisting a tax-exempt entity, Large operating companies, Subsidiary of certain exempt entities, Inactive entity.
Who is a Reporting Company
A reporting company is (1) any corporation, limited liability company, or other similar entity that was created in the United States by the filing of a document with a secretary of state or similar office (in which case it is a domestic reporting company), or any legal entity that has been registered to do business in the United States by the filing of a document with a secretary of state or similar office (in which case it is a foreign reporting company), that (2) does not qualify for any of the exemptions provided under the Corporate Transparency Act. An entity’s activities and revenue, along with other factors in some cases, can qualify it for one of those exemptions. For example, there is an exemption for certain inactive entities, and another for any company that reported more than $5 million in gross receipts or sales in the previous year and satisfies other exemption criteria. Neither engaging solely in passive activities like holding rental properties, for example, nor being unprofitable necessarily exempts an entity from the BOI reporting requirements.
