On Demand Webinar: The Corporate Transparency Act: a Primer

Live date: Tuesday, November 28, 2023

The Corporate Transparency Act, a groundbreaking federal law, took effect on January 1, 2024. In the most relevant installment of our series, Beneficial Ownership Reporting Under the New Corporate Transparency Act Part 5: Countdown to January 1, 2024, (now renamed The Corporate Transparency Act: A Primer), we discussed the reporting rules and regulations, exemptions, penalties for non-compliance, special considerations and preparation for the effective date, with a focus on updates to the CTA. We included the details of FinCEN’s proposed amendment to its reporting rules to extend the filing deadline in certain circumstances and the latest sample form fields for the beneficial ownership reports and FinCEN identifier applications. We also took a deeper dive into the subsidiary exemption and other exemptions and further discussed company applicants and other parts of the Act that continue to cause confusion and concern.
