Understanding BOIR Filing Requirements for Your Trucking Business
As a business owner of a trucking company, staying compliant with various tax and regulatory requirements is crucial to keeping your operations running smoothly. One important and new aspect of compliance is filing the Beneficial Ownership Information Report (BOIR). In this blog, we’ll break down the key BOIR filing requirements for trucking businesses and show you how TruckLogics and our sister product, TaxBandits, can simplify the process.
What is BOIR?
Starting January 1, 2024, the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) mandates that many small businesses, including those in the trucking industry, must file BOI reports with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). This new requirement aims to increase transparency and combat financial crimes by collecting information about the individuals who own and control these businesses.
Who Needs to File BOIR?
If your trucking business is registered as a corporation, limited liability company (LLC), or similar entity and meets the criteria for significant control or ownership, you may need to file the BOIR. The specific requirements can vary, so reviewing the latest guidelines from the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is essential.
FinCEN BOI Filing Deadlines:
The deadline to file a BOI report is based on your company’s establishment date.
Penalties:
Late filing penalty can be up to $10,000 at $591/day.
