The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), a groundbreaking federal law, took effect on January 1, 2024. In the most recent installment of our CTA webinar series, CTA Part 7: Navigating the New Norm, a 7-Month Check-in on the Corporate Transparency Act, (now renamed The Corporate Transparency Act, Updates and Changes) our presenter, Pia Angelikis, Esq., VP of Government Relations and Legal Research, provides the information available since our 4-month check-in, including analysis of the Federal challenges to the CTA along with an updated status of NSBU v. Yellen, a discussion of the new FAQs that FinCEN issued on June 10 and a refresh on reporting requirements and deadlines in conjunction with navigating the Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) Report. Additionally, she discusses penalties for non-compliance with a focus on FinCEN’s FAQ regarding penalties, takes an in-depth look into the subsidiary and inactive entity exemptions and highlights the remaining unclear issues since the legislation took effect.
