Beneficial Ownership Information filing
Significant changes to Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting are here. On March 26, 2025, FinCEN issued an interim final rule that exempts all domestic U.S. entities and their beneficial owners from BOI filing requirements.
This means most U.S. businesses no longer need to file with FinCEN under this rule. However, foreign entities registered to do business in the U.S. are still required to file.
New deadlines apply: existing foreign registrants must file by April 25, 2025, and new foreign registrants within 30 days of their registration becoming effective. This is an interim rule, so staying informed is crucial.
Action Steps: Monitor Rulemaking: Keep an eye on FinCEN.gov for updates, as this is an interim rule. Maintain Internal BOI Records: Even if exempt, securely store beneficial owner data for your domestic entity in case future rules change.
Foreign Entities Act Now: If your business is a foreign entity registered in the U.S., identify beneficial owners and company applicants, and file through the BOI E-Filing System by the new deadlines. Seek Expert Guidance: Consult with legal or compliance professionals for complex situations or any questions regarding your specific obligations.
