Web: www.JonesHealthLaw.com Phone: (305)877-5054 Instagram: @JonesHealthLaw Facebook: @JonesHealthLaw YouTube: @JonesHealthLaw The United States Department of Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is required through the Corporate Transparency Act to prevent and protect the community from fraud and illicit activities involving U.S. companies. In 2021, the Corporate Transparency Act was enacted and took effect on January 1, 2024. Beneficial Owners of any U.S. reporting company are required to file a report. Beneficial Owner is defined by the Corporate Transparency Act as any individual who, “directly or indirectly, (1) exercises substantial control over the entity or (2) owns or controls not less than 25 percent equity in the entity.” A complete list and compliance guide are available on the FinCEN Q&A website (https://www.fincen.gov/boi-faqs#B_2). Beneficial Ownership Information Reports can be filed using the BOI E-Filing System at: https://boiefiling.fincen.gov/
