Corporate Transparency Act Resource Center
The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), effective January 1, 2024, requires certain entities to file reports with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) of the Department of Treasury that identify two categories of individuals: the beneficial owners of the entity, and individuals who have filed an application with specified governmental authorities to create the entity or register it to do business.
The CTA is effective as of January 1, 2024. Companies in existence prior to that date have until December 31, 2024, to make their registration. Companies established after that date have 90 days after they are created to register.
Following are some of the government resources that are available to help determine whether an entity falls under the parameters of the act, and the beneficial ownership reporting requirements.
