U.S. BOI Filing Resumes Following Court Ruling

On February 18, 2025, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas granted the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) a stay on the nationwide injunction that previously halted enforcement. This means that the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) remains in effect, and Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting is once again mandatory. Employers must ensure timely submission to maintain compliance.

Filing Deadlines

• Existing Companies: Must submit their initial, updated, or corrected BOI report by March 21, 2025.

• Companies Formed or Registered on or After February 18, 2025: Must file within 30 days of formation or registration.

• Companies Granted Extensions Due to Disaster Relief: Must adhere to their previously approved extension deadlines.

Does Your Business Need to File?

Most businesses are required to file a BOI report; failure to do so may result in penalties or legal consequences. However, certain entities qualify for exemptions based on their registration type, operational status, and regulatory requirements.
