IN THE NEWS

12-10-24. BREAKING NEWS: The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has stated that due to the ruling in the Texas federal court, reporting companies are not currently required to file beneficial ownership information under the Corporate Transparency Act and are not subject to liability if they fail to report by the January 1, 2025 deadline. FinCEN states that companies may continue to submit the information voluntarily. FinCEN’s statement can be read here.

12-3-24. BREAKING NEWS: PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION TEMPORARILY HALTS CORPORATE TRANSPARENCY ACT NATIONWIDE

On December 3, 2024, a federal judge in the Eastern District of Texas granted a preliminary injunction halting all enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act’s (CTA) reporting requirements nationwide. It means the January 1, 2025, deadline for filing beneficial ownership information has been suspended for all corporations in the country.

The court found that the CTA and its reporting requirements are likely unconstitutional. However, this is a preliminary injunction and only temporarily suspends the compliance requirement. Another court could reverse this ruling, either before or after the January 1, 2025 deadline. We believe the CTA will eventually end up before the Supreme Court.

A copy of the District Court's order can be found here. As expected, the court's order was immediately appealed. We are monitoring the situation and will continue to inform you of the latest developments.
