IRSは2023年の1099-K報告の延期を発表し、将来的には段階的実施を計画。
これは、納税者が2023年に20,000ドル以上を受け取り、200回以上の取引がある場合にのみ、第三者報告が必要になることを意味します。
FinCENは、2024年に設立または登録された報告対象会社に、初回の実質的所有者情報レポートの提出を60日以上の延長期間を与える。
FinCENは、2024年に設立または初めて登録された報告対象会社に延長を認め、これらの事業体に規制義務を理解し、遵守するための時間を与えます。
FinCEN BOI （実質所有者情報）の報告義務化
このたび、米国連邦政府は、2024年1月1日より米国企業への情報開示を強化する。FinCEN（フィンセン）米国財務省内の金融犯罪取締ネットワーク部局により、企業犯罪を防止・抑制する観点から、米国内で事業登録している企業に対して、実質所有者情報（BOI-Beneficial Ownership Information）の報告を、義務付けたのだ。報告対象となる企業は、大企業や特殊業種を除く、米国内に事業登録した企業の全てとなっている。FinCEN特設ウェブサイトにて、期限までに入力登録をしない場合、最高$10,000罰金等が科される。多くの米国進出日系企業は、これらの対応が必要となってくる。今回はその概要を説明する。

IRSは2023年の1099-K報告の延期を発表し、将来的には段階的実施を計画。
IRSは2023年11月21日に、通知2023-74を発表し公開しました。こちらで発表内容をご覧ください。この通知は、2021年のアメリカン・レスキュー・プラン法（ARP）によって第三者支払者に課された要件について、さらなる移行期間を設けました。ARPは第三者決済組織の1099-K報告の閾値を600ドルに下げました。IRSは昨年、2022年を移行期間として扱うと発表し、今年も同様にしました。 結論：これは、納税者が2023年に20,000ドル以上を受け取り、200回以上の取引がある場合にのみ、第三者報告が必要になることを意味します。 さらなる変更が予定されていますが、IRSは追加の時間を利用して、納税者への負担を最小限に抑え、移行をできるだけスムーズにする方法を模索し続けると述べています。大きな変更のため、IRSは2024年に600ドルの閾値の実施に向けた段階的導入の一環として5,000ドルの閾値を計画しています。
