In major news related to the Corporate Transparency Act, beneficial ownership information reports (BOIR) are once again mandatory.
United States Corporate/Commercial Law

In major news related to the Corporate Transparency Act, beneficial ownership information reports (BOIR) are once again mandatory. The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals stayed the nationwide preliminary injunction issued by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas that temporarily enjoined FinCEN's enforcement of the beneficial ownership information reporting obligations.

Following the ruling from the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, FinCEN issued an update and extended certain deadlines, as set forth below. All reporting companies that are required to file a beneficial ownership information report must do so by the applicable deadline. Please reach out to your Much attorney with any questions.
