Corporate Transparency Act


Davis Butler, Esq., provided a webinar regarding the Corporate Transparency Act. This law requires that practices, no later than January 1, 2025: 

 

  • Go to the FinCEN website and complete the registration of all owners, shareholders, officers and people who exercise control in an office should be reported as a beneficial owner, even if their ownership is not 25% or more (for example, the Practice Administrator should be reported).  
  • It is better to over report versus under report as the fines are significant. 
  • Completing the report online is easy and requires a few documents as noted in the attached procedure. 
  • Any changes to the beneficial ownership must be updated online within 90 days of the change (like a new partner or a physician retiring). This is critical to avoid fines. 

 

For more information, view a reference document created by Davis Butler, Esq., regarding the Corporate Transparency Act.
