The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) comes into effect on January 1, 2024. This legislation, which Congress passed in 2021, dictates that certain businesses must disclose shareholder and Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) information to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). Failure to do so could lead to daily $500 fines or two years of jail time for business owners.
Whether you’re wondering if you fall into the category of a “reporting company” or what information you need to include in a report, Computershare has the answers you’re looking for.
