Corporate Transparency Act - Case Study Review

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Introducing the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA): Enacted by Congress in 2020, the CTA mandates that all business entities established or operating within the United States furnish comprehensive details about the ultimate owners or controllers of the entity to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a division of the Department of the Treasury. Commencing from January 1, 2024, entities falling under the classification of "Reporting Companies" (as defined by the CTA) are obligated to submit a "beneficial owner report" to FinCEN. The impact of this act is far-reaching, encompassing a broad spectrum of businesses. The reporting requisites extend to nearly all small businesses except for sole proprietorships or general partnerships, impacting over 30 million such entities.
