Enacted by Congress in 2021 as part of the National Defense Authorization Act, the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) aims to mitigate money laundering, tax fraud, and other illicit activities by capturing more information about the ownership of specific entities operating in or accessing the U.S. markets. Effective January 1, 2024, the Corporate Transparency Act requires millions of small businesses to report ownership information to FinCEN (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network) which falls under the U.S. Department of the Treasury (DOT). So, who is impacted by CTA? How does one file a report? What is the risk of non-compliance? In this blog, we'll cover everything you need to know about this new reporting requirement. #CorporateTransparencyAct #CTA #BeneficialOwnershipInformation #FinCEN #NationalDefenseAuthorizationAct https://hubs.ly/Q02ld3X70
