BEA has eliminated the annual BE-11 filing requirement for minority-owned foreign affiliates, beginning with the 2025 survey year. The BE-11C form was required to be reported for minority-owned foreign affiliates whose assets, sales or gross operating revenues, or net income (loss) exceed $60 million. In addition, minority-owned foreign affiliates that are newly established or acquired during the fiscal year that meet the BE-11D form filing thresholds (total assets, sales or gross operating revenues, or net income (loss) of more than $25 million but for which none of these exceed $60 million at the end of the affiliate's fiscal year) are no longer required to report. A foreign affiliate is minority-owned if the combined direct and indirect voting ownership interests (or the equivalent) of the U.S. parent(s) are at least 10 percent, but not more than 50 percent.
Due to this change, the BE-11C form is no longer available within BEA’s secure eFile system or as a fillable pdf on the BE-11 webpage. Minority-owned foreign affiliates that receive a notification to file from BEA should instead file a BE-11 Claim for Not Filing.
