<br>
<br>I just received this message a few minutes ago from one of the legal offices that serves our community association clients. It appears that the Treasury Department will not be enforcing the CTA against community associations and you will not need to file a BOIR. Please see the message below from the attorney.
<br>
<br>Good morning,
<br>
<br>The Treasury Department announced yesterday that it will not enforce the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) against US citizens or domestic reporting companies (including Washington Corporations), and that it will propose a future rule that limits CTA enforcement to foreign corporations only.
<br>
<br>It is not certain whether this will be a permanent end to the back and forth, but it appears that the Treasury Department will continue to work toward restricting CTA enforcement against entities like community associations, and, at least for the foreseeable future, our firm’s clients are not obligated to file Beneficial Ownership Interest (BOI) reports.
<br>
<br>Here is a link to the official announcement: https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sb0038.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Thank you,
