On March 2, 2025, the Treasury Department clarified that no penalties will be imposed on U.S. citizens or domestic companies, even after the upcoming rule changes. Instead, it will propose new rulemaking to narrow the scope of the requirement to only foreign reporting companies. Additional information can be found on FinCEN’s website at https://www.fincen.gov/. We are closely monitoring developments and legislation and will continue to provide updates on this blog as soon as they are available.The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) introduced substantial new reporting obligations for a wide array of corporate entities.

The CTA also applies to foreign entities registered to conduct business through similar filings.
