WHAT IS A BOI REPORT

What is a BOI Report?

BOI Report stands for Beneficial Ownership Information Report. In 2021, Congress enacted the bipartisan Corporate Transparency Act to curb illicit finance. This law requires many companies doing business in the United States to report information about who ultimately owns or controls them.

Who Has to Report?

Companies required to report are called reporting companies. Reporting companies may have to obtain information from their beneficial owners and report that information to FinCEN.

Your company may need to report information about its beneficial owners if it is:

1. A corporation, a limited liability company (LLC), or was otherwise created in the United States by filing a document with a secretary of state or any similar office under the law of a state or Indian tribe; or

2. A foreign company and was registered to do business in any U.S. State or Indian Tribe by such a filing.

Who Does Not Have to Report?

Twenty-three types of entities are exempt from beneficial ownership information reporting requirements, including publicly traded companies, nonprofits, and certain large operating companies.

When Do I Report?

FinCEN began accepting reports on January 1, 2024.

• If your company was created or registered prior to January 1, 2024, you will have until January 1, 2025, to report BOI.

• If your company is created or registered in 2024, you must report BOI within 90 calendar days after receiving actual or public notice that your company’s creation or registration is effective, whichever is earlier.

• If your company is created or registered on or after January 1, 2025, you must file BOI within 30 calendar days after receiving actual or public notice that its creation or registration is effective.

• Any updates or corrections to beneficial ownership information that you previously filed with FinCEN must be submitted within 30 days.
