IMPORTANT CORPORATE TRANSPARENCY ACT UPDATE

On December 3, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas issued a significant ruling in Texas Top Cop Shop, Inc., et al. v. Garland, et al., halting the enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA). This decision places a nationwide injunction on the CTA, including its beneficial ownership reporting requirements, citing concerns about its constitutionality and Congressional overreach.


The ruling effectively suspends upcoming compliance deadlines for companies classified as "Reporting Companies" under the CTA. As of now, businesses are not required to submit Beneficial Ownership Information Reports (BOIR) to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).


This is what you should know:

  • If your company has already submitted a BOIR, no updates are currently required.

  • Companies that have not filed are not obligated to do so at this time.

  • Monitoring future developments regarding the CTA is crucial as an appeal is anticipated.


This injunction provides temporary relief, but the legal landscape remains uncertain. Businesses should stay informed and seek legal counsel to navigate these ongoing changes.


We do not currently offer assistance with Corporate Transparency Act compliance. If you have questions about how this decision impacts your business, please consult with your advisors.
