Title 31, Ch. 19: Uniform Limited Partnership Act of 2007
Title 13, c.22-A, Maine Professional Service Corporation Act
Title 5, c.6-A, Model Registered Agents Act
Effective January 1, 2024 - New Federal Reporting Requirement for Beneficial Ownership
The Corporate Transparency Act (“CTA”) was enacted by Congress on January 1, 2021, as part of the National Defense Authorization Act. The CTA includes significant reforms to anti-money laundering laws and is intended to help prevent and combat money laundering, terrorist financing, corruption, and tax fraud. The CTA establishes a beneficial ownership reporting requirement for corporations, limited liability companies, and other similar entities formed or registered to do business in the United States. Beneficial ownership reports must be filed with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a bureau within the U.S. Department of Treasury. For information on filing requirements please visit FinCen’s website at https://www.fincen.gov/boi.
