GrayRobinson Business Law Insight: Corporate Transparency Act Penalties Will Not Be Enforced for Certain Entities

March 3, 2035

By: Kevin Levy and Natali Reyes

On March 2, 2025, the U.S. Treasury Department announced that it will not be enforcing any penalties or fines against companies and individuals that fail to file or update beneficial ownership information (BOI) pursuant to the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) under the existing deadlines implemented by FinCEN. Further, the Treasury Department has announced that it will not enforce any penalties or fines against U.S. citizens, or domestic reporting companies, or their beneficial owners, even after an interim final rule from FinCEN is issued (which is expected no later than March 21, 2025).

The Treasury Department also stated that it will be proposing new rules which will narrow the CTA to foreign reporting companies only.

As a reminder, our CTA Committee is available to answer questions and provide compliance guidance.
