The Corporate Transparency Act: What Business Owners Need to Know

The Corporate Transparency Act, passed in 2021, aims to curb illicit activities such as tax fraud, money laundering and terrorist financing by requiring certain U.S. businesses to provide details about their ownership.


If your business meets the criteria, you’ll need to file a beneficial ownership information report with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network that lists individuals linked to your company. Penalties for failing to file your initial report will kick in after Jan. 1, 2025, so it’s important to make sure you are complying with the rules before the end of year.
