FinCEN Extends Deadline for Companies Registering in 2024 to Submit Beneficial Ownership Information Reports

The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has announced a final rule granting an extension to the deadline for selected reporting companies to file their initial reports on beneficial ownership information (BOI). Companies established or registered in 2024 will now have a 90-day window from the effective date to submit their reports rather than the 30-day window previously proposed.

This effectively creates three cohorts of filers:

1. Companies created or registered before 2024 – Initial beneficial ownership information reports must be filed by January 1, 2025.
2. Companies created or registered during 2024 – Initial beneficial ownership information reports must be filed within 90 days of receiving actual or public notice of creation or registration becoming effective.
3. Companies created or registered after 2024 – Initial beneficial ownership information reports must be filed within 30 days of receiving actual or public notice of creation or registration becoming effective.

Please note that FinCEN will accept no reports before January 1, 2024.
