This CLE/CPE webinar will provide tax attorneys and advisers guidance on key provisions and requirements of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA). The panel will discuss key challenges stemming from the CTA, determining which companies are "reporting companies" and "beneficial owners" under the CTA, and the application of both civil and criminal penalties for noncompliance.

Description

The CTA requires companies to report beneficial owners and additional information to the U.S. Department of Treasury. Tax professionals must know the applicable rules and filing requirements to advise companies and conduct a review of corporate structures in light of these new rules.

The CTA went into effect on Jan. 1, 2024, as part of the overall 2021 National Defense Authorization Act and under the scope of the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020. Certain companies must report their beneficial owner(s) to FinCEN (the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network), significantly impacting millions of business entities. Noncompliance with these new rules can result in significant civil and criminal penalties.

Under the CTA rules, determining which companies are considered "reporting companies" and who are "beneficial owner(s)" is critical to ensure compliance. However, the rules provide for exemptions for certain businesses that may provide relief to some companies and the possibility of avoiding costs and privacy concerns associated with this collection of data.

Listen as our panel discusses the CTA's key provisions, determining whether companies are reporting companies or beneficial owners, and applying both civil and criminal penalties for noncompliance.
