On 29 September 2022, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) of the US Department of the Treasury ("Treasury") released the final regulations regarding Beneficial Ownership Information Reporting Requirements ("Final Regulations"), which implement the beneficial ownership information reporting provisions of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA). The CTA was passed in January 2021 and requires "Reporting Companies" to report to "FinCEN" information regarding the Reporting Company's "Beneficial Owners" and "Company Applicants".
The Final Regulations largely track the earlier proposed regulations issued by FinCEN on 8 December 2021 ("Proposed Regulations") but include several changes regarding "Company Applicants" and the timing of reports that could be welcomed by businesses. The Final Regulations are effective 1 January 2024.
