Frequently Asked Questions on BOI Report
What is a BOIR filing?s
BOIR (Beneficial Ownership Information Report) is a legal requirement for U.S. small businesses to report to FinCEN information about a business entity's beneficial owners.
This reporting was enacted to prevent reporting companies from engaging in illicit activities such as money laundering, financial terrorism, and serious tax fraud.
The BOI report typically includes information such as names, addresses, dates of birth, and identification details.
Who is required to file BOIR?
According to FinCEN, businesses will be considered as the reporting company and must file a BOI report if it falls under any of the following categories:
- Domestic Entities: Domestic entities are businesses established by filing organizational documents with state authorities. These businesses operate under U.S. tax laws, including corporations, LLCs, limited partnerships, and limited liability partnerships (LLPs).
- Foreign Entities: Though established outside the U.S., they often need to file with state authorities to operate within the country despite sharing similarities with domestic entities.
When is the due date for Filing the BOI Report?
The due date for filing the BOI report depends on the company’s establishment date. In the U.S., under the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), the deadline for submitting the BOI report to the FinCEN is as follows:
| Company Establishment Date | Deadline |
|---|---|
| Before January 1, 2024 | January 1, 2025 |
| Between January 1, 2024- December 31, 2025 | Within 90 days from the date you received notice of the company’s effective registration from the state. |
| After January 1, 2025 | Within 30 days from the date you received notice of the company’s effective registration from the state. |
However, BOI deadlines may vary in other jurisdictions or for specific types of entities, so it’s essential to verify the local requirements.
Note: In the event of any changes needed to the information provided, such as alterations in ownership, or corrections, you must file the corrected/updated reports within 30 days of such changes or when the mistake is noticed
Which entities are exempt from filing the BOI report?
The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) does not require an entity to report Beneficial Ownership Information if it falls under one of the 23 types of entities; they are exempt from the BOI reporting obligations.
