Begin 2022 with Clearer Vision: Understand the Corporate Transparency Act Proposed Rule
On January 1, 2021, Congress enacted the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), the purpose of which is to better enable national security, intelligence, and law enforcement agencies to counter money laundering, the financing of terrorism, and other illicit activities that threaten national security. Under the CTA, most domestic businesses and foreign businesses registered to do business in the U.S. will now be required to disclose personal identifying information about their beneficial owners, senior officers, and other control persons to the U.S. Department of Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). On December 7, 2021, FinCEN released proposed regulations, seeking to implement the beneficial ownership reporting requirements of the CTA. The comment period is scheduled to end February 7, 2022. Check out this client alert digest to dive deeper into law firm memos and Practical Guidance content in order to better understand the impacts of the CTA.
