Breaking CTA News: Yesterday, a federal district court in Texas issued a decision temporarily preventing the enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act (“CTA”).  The court found the CTA exceeded Congress’ power and enjoined the government from enforcing the CTA on a nationwide basis, expressly staying the January 1, 2025 reporting deadline.    The ruling freezes—for now—the CTA’s reporting requirements for all reporting companies. The injunction is preliminary and the ultimate fate of the CTA remains unsettled. The government likely will appeal the district court’s ruling.  For now, the Tucker Ellis CTA Task Force recommends to advise clients that they do not need to file any BOI reports with FinCEN pending further resolution on the case. However, they should be prepared for case updates, which may come at any time. #CTA #corporatetransparencyact #fincen

🚨 Important Update: Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) Compliance Deadline 🚨 The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) compliance deadline has been put on hold following a nationwide preliminary injunction. On December 3, 2024, U.S. District Judge Amos Mazzant ruled that the CTA and Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, US Treasury (FinCEN) Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) Reporting Rule may be unconstitutional, staying the January 1, 2025, compliance deadline. What does this mean for businesses? While the government may appeal, the upcoming leadership change at the Department of Justice leaves the future of the reporting requirements for the CTA uncertain. What action should you take? We recommend continuing preparations for BOI filings but not filing them until further guidance is provided by the courts and regulators. Please note some state-level transparency laws may still apply, so those who have filed their BOI reports previously should be able to rely on those filings in order to maintain a good standing status with the FinCEN as well as assisting you with future reporting requirements.

Updates on Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) from Bob Jennings at TaxSpeaker. Alabama courts have been busy. On Friday March 1, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the District of Alabama declared the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) unconstitutional. In the case of National Small Business Association v. Yellen (Case No. 5:22-cv-01448) [1], initiated by the National Small Business United, the challenge was against the CTA's mandate for small businesses to disclose their beneficial owners to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).   The ruling has the effect of suspending all BOI filing requirements for now, all enforcement actions, and all compliance concerns including questions of "practicing law without a license." Experts believe the ruling will be appealed, probably to the Supreme Court, so this is a temporary filing requirement suspension until a final appeal is exhausted. Voluntary filing appears to still be allowed if for some reason a client desires to file.

The Corporate Transparency Act was ruled unconstitutional in recent U.S. District Court case. More to come as the government likely appeals this verdict soon. Businesses not linked to the National Small Business Association should continue to adhere to CTA compliance, as the ruling's impact is limited to a specific group. #CTA #FinCEN #Law #BOI #BOIR #Compliance

This result isn’t surprising. I ultimately anticipated an adverse court ruling on portions of the CTA—if not the entire Act—but I didn’t expect it until sometime in 2025. Even so, we still have many months ahead before a definitive outcome is reached. "The Court’s order states that neither the CTA nor the implementing rules adopted by FinCEN may be enforced and that reporting companies need not comply with the CTA’s upcoming January 1, 2025 deadline for filing beneficial ownership reports." Nevertheless, if you are not exempt (most small businesses and entities are not) you should still consider filing your BOIR to be on the safe side.

Federal District Court Rules Corporate Transparency Act Is Unconstitutional. This ruling effectively suspends the enforcement of the CTA against the plaintiffs in the case and MAY suspend enforcement against all potential reporting companies. Learn how this may impact your business on our blog.

A U.S. federal court has temporarily paused the CTA’s January 1, 2025, reporting requirements, citing constitutional concerns. While businesses have relief for now, the government is expected to appeal.   Stay prepared and consult your advisors to navigate potential changes.

If you own a business, you probably have (had?) a filing obligation under the Corporate Transparency Act's Beneficial Ownership Information Rule. On December 3, a U.S. District Court in Texas issued a nationwide preliminary injunction blocking enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act and associated treasury regulations until further order. So, is the CTA done? No. The District Court's preliminary injunction temporarily prohibits FinCEN from enforcing the CTA and beneficial ownership rule pending final resolution. Under the CTA, BOI reporting was required by January 1, 2025 for entities formed before 2024, and within 90 days of formation for entities formed in 2024. If the government wants to preserve the January 1, 2025 deadline, it will have to move fast. Based on the government's response to a similar case in Alabama, we anticipate their next steps soon. More to come on this. #estateplanning #taxplanning #businessplanning
