MissConstrueSo, y’all remember a little while back I reminded you that the CTA, enacted as part of broader anti-money laundering efforts, mandates small businesses and indie contractors to disclose their beneficial ownership information to the US Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and had to be done by EOY or we were going to face extreme fines?It was just ruled unconstitutional, and a temporary injunction to stop enforcement has been ordered. So, what does that mean for you, small businesses owner or independent contractor? That depends on what compliance you have already done.
