FinCEN Ends Beneficial Ownership Reporting Requirement for US Entities

Effective 14 August 2026, a final rule issued by the US Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) permanently removed the requirement for US companies and US persons to report beneficial ownership information (BOI) to FinCEN.

The final rule puts to rest a reporting requirement for US entities considered burdensome for many, especially small businesses, and a mandate which had been challenged in the courts.
