FINCEN Business Reporting

What is FINCEN BOI Reporting?

 

The U.S. government has introduced a mandatory reporting requirement through the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FINCEN) for businesses to submit Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI). This initiative, part of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), is designed to prevent illicit activities such as money laundering, tax evasion, and terrorism financing by increasing transparency into who truly owns or controls a business.

Who Must File?

Businesses, including corporations, LLCs, and other similar entities created or registered in the United States, must file a BOI report. This report discloses the personal identifying information of individuals who directly or indirectly own or control at least 25% of the company or exert significant control over it.

Filing Deadlines

  • For existing entities (those formed or registered before January 1, 2024), the deadline to file the initial BOI report is January 1, 2025.
  • New entities formed or registered on or after January 1, 2024, must file within 30 days of formation or registration.

Failing to meet these deadlines can have significant legal consequences.

Penalties for Non-Compliance

Non-compliance with the FINCEN BOI reporting requirements carries severe penalties. Businesses that fail to submit or provide false or incomplete information in their BOI reports can face the following:

  1. Fines: Civil penalties up to $500 per day until the company corrects the violation.
  2. Criminal Penalties: Businesses or individuals who willfully fail to report or provide false information can face criminal fines up to $10,000 or up to 2 years in prison.

These fines and penalties are designed to ensure full compliance and to maintain the integrity of business transparency in the U.S.

Potential Legal Challenges for Non-Filing

Failure to comply with the BOI reporting requirements can lead to legal complications for businesses, including:

  • Investigations: Government authorities may initiate investigations into businesses that fail to file or file inaccurately, resulting in costly legal battles.
  • Operational Interruptions: Legal challenges and fines could disrupt business operations, impact reputation, and hinder access to financial services.

It's essential for businesses to comply with BOI reporting to avoid these risks and ensure smooth operations.
