On Aug. 11, 2026, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) issued a final rule that permanently removes the requirement for U.S. companies and U.S. persons to report beneficial ownership information (BOI) under the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA). That same day, FinCEN also announced it would delete previously reported information by U.S. persons from the BOI database. The final rule became effective on Aug. 14, 2026.
