Shining Some Light on the Corporate Transparency Act | Christopher Smith

In 2021, Congress passed the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), aimed at tracking international money launderers. Instead, it exempts public corporations, and is anything but transparent. The law ends up hitting the smallest individually and family owned businesses, charities, and related entities, raising important compliance and privacy concerns. With the clock ticking on the law’s January 2024 effective date, basic questions still remain, including who must file. This session will help shine some much needed light on the lack of transparancy around CTA.

Domestic Asset Protection Trusts (DAPTs) have been with us onshore for over a quarter of a century.

This presentation will study the tax and asset protection developments with DAPTs and offer drafting pointers and tips.

Moderated by Patrick Goetzinger, members of the Task Force will discuss the work of the Task Force in shaping South Dakota trust law for the upcoming 2024 legislative session and review  2023. By Executive Proclamation, the Task Force’s goal is to establish and maintain South Dakota’s stature as the premier trust jurisdiction in the United States.
