BOI FAQs
As a trusted advisor, you will likely receive inquiries regarding compliance and regulatory obligations. With the Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting, clients may rely on you to meet this requirement under the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA). Here are key points to keep in mind as you assist your clients:
Who needs to file a BOI report?
Generally speaking, all companies, irrespective of whether they are incorporated under US or foreign law, are obligated to submit a BOI report. However, there are a limited number of exceptions to this requirement, which are outlined by FinCEN.
Which entities are exempt from the requirement?
It’s important for your clients to review whether they fall into one of the 23 categories of entities that may be exempt from the BOI reporting requirements. However, since regulations can change, it’s recommended to consult with a legal advisor to assist with compliance and avoid potential penalties.
Who are beneficial owners?
Beneficial ownership includes individuals with at least a 25% ownership interest. Additionally, it involves those who exert control through key decision-making and independent judgment.
Deadlines for Filing and Updating Reports
Companies established before January 1, 2024, have until January 1, 2025, to submit their reports. Subsequently, companies formed between January 1 and December 31, 2024, must file within 90 days of incorporation. Moving forward, companies established in 2025 and beyond will have a 30-day filing window following incorporation.
