TITLE LXIV-ESTABLISHING BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP INFORMATION REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

Sec. 6401.Short title.
Sec. 6402.Sense of Congress.
Sec. 6403.Beneficial ownership information reporting requirements.
SEC. 6401. SHORT TITLE.
This title may be cited as the ‘‘Corporate Transparency Act’’.
SEC. 6402. SENSE OF CONGRESS.
It is the sense of Congress that-
(1) more than 2,000,000 corporations and limited liability companies are being formed under the laws of the States each year;
(2) most or all States do not require information about
the beneficial owners of the corporations, limited liability companies, or other similar entities formed under the laws of the State;
(3) malign actors seek to conceal their ownership of corpora- tions, limited liability companies, or other similar entities in the United States to facilitate illicit activity, including money laundering, the financing of terrorism, proliferation financing, serious tax fraud, human and drug trafficking, counterfeiting, piracy, securities fraud, financial fraud, and acts of foreign corruption, harming the national security interests of the United States and allies of the United States;
(4) money launderers and others involved in commercial activity intentionally conduct transactions through corporate structures in order to evade detection, and may layer such structures, much like Russian nesting "Matryoshka" dolls, across various secretive jurisdictions such that each time an investigator obtains ownership records for a domestic or foreign entity, the newly identified entity is yet another corporate entity, necessitating a repeat of the same process;
(5) Federal legislation providing for the collection of beneficial ownership information for corporations, limited liability companies, or other similar entities formed under the laws
of the States is needed to-
(A) set a clear, Federal standard for incorporation prac-tices;
(B) protect vital Unites States national security
interests;
(C) protect interstate and foreign commerce;
(D) better enable critical national security, intelligence,
and law enforcement efforts to counter money laundering,
the financing of terrorism, and other illicit activity; and
(E) bring the United States into compliance with inter-
national anti-money laundering and countering the
financing of terrorism standards;
(6) beneficial ownership information collected under the
amendments made by this title is sensitive information and
will be directly available only to authorized government authorities, subject to effective safeguards and controls, to-
(A) facilitate important national security, intelligence,
and law enforcement activities; and
(B) confirm beneficial ownership information provided
to financial institutions to facilitate the compliance of the
financial institutions with anti-money laundering, countering the financing of terrorism, and customer due diligence requirements under applicable law;
(7) consistent with applicable law, the Secretary of the
Treasury shall-
(A) maintain the information described in paragraph
(1) in a secure, nonpublic database, using information security methods and techniques that are appropriate to protect
nonclassified information systems at the highest security
level; and
(B) take all steps, including regular auditing, to ensure
that government authorities accessing beneficial ownership
information do so only for authorized purposes consistent
with this title; and
(8) in prescribing regulations to provide for the reporting
of beneficial ownership information, the Secretary shall, to
the greatest extent practicable consistent with the purposes
of this title-

What do I need to know?

What is the Corporate Transparency Act?

Congress passed a law, the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), which helps U.S. law enforcement fight financial crimes, that went into effect on January 1st, 2024.

Does it affect my business?

The law requires an estimated 88% of businesses to submit a special report called Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) of the Department of Treasury.

What if I don't file on time?

If a business owner doesn't submit on time, they could face daily fines of $500 or even criminal charges, including the risk of going to jail.

How do I file?

Your attorney will help you navigate the filing process and make it easy to keep your information up to date alongside ever-evolving regulations.
