Avoid a $500 a Day Fine: The New Law Affecting All Businesses

April 24 @ 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm

Free

Since January of this year, all businesses need to comply with a new law, and failure to do so can result in fines up to $500 a day. This new law, the Corporate Transparency Act, requires businesses like yours to submit a report (called a Beneficial Ownership Information Report, or BOI Report) to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). For businesses registered before 2024, this must be done by the end of year, or else you will start accruing daily fines. If you registered your business this year, you only have 90 days from your business registration to submit this report. Even if you have never had to submit any form of report for your business, you are still required do so now. There are no exemptions for small businesses, new businesses, or businesses with little to no revenue. Even if you consider your business inactive, you are still required to comply.

To assist you in meeting this requirement, QEDC has developed a comprehensive webinar designed to guide you through the registration process step by step. This resource is invaluable for both new and existing businesses, and it is time-sensitive. We encourage all business owners to take advantage of this opportunity to ensure compliance and avoid any potential penalties.

The Queens Economic Development Corporation and Queens Tourism Council will host Queens Taste 2024 at the New York Hall of Science in Flushing Meadows Corona Park on Tuesday, May 21, from 6 pm to 9 pm.

We expect to attract more than 500 attendees with 50 restaurants and beverage purveyors, who will offer samples of their products. Thus, attendees will be able to bounce from table to table, tasting treats from tangy to fiery, crunchy to velvety, and sweet to briny.

Queens Taste is also a celebration of the borough -- and a great way to network. Almost all the anticipated 500 attendees either live in Queens or do business there. Many are executives and captains of industry. The atmosphere is always festive, almost giddy, creating an ideal scene for meeting and greeting.
