FinCEN Delays BOI Filing Enforcement: What Businesses Need to Know
Businesses scrambling to meet the Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) filing deadlines under the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) can breathe a little easier. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has announced that it will not enforce BOI filing deadlines or issue penalties until new deadlines are formally established. Key Takeaways: No Immediate Penalties: FinCEN will not impose fines or enforcement actions against businesses that miss the current BOI filing deadlines. New Deadlines on the Horizon: An interim final rule is expected by March 21, 2025, which will extend filing deadlines and provide clearer guidance on compliance. Public Input Matters: FinCEN will seek public input on future revisions to BOI reporting requirements, offering businesses an opportunity to voice concerns and suggest improvements. What This Means for Businesses For companies navigating the complexities of BOI reporting, this delay provides much-needed time to ensure compliance without the immediate threat of penalties.
