  • 📢 The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA): What You Need to Know Now! The recent federal court injunction has paused the requirement for reporting companies to file Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reports with FinCEN. While this legal challenge unfolds, companies are not required to file or face liability for non-compliance during this time. However, preparation is key! Learn more about the injunction and how to stay ready for potential changes. Need guidance? We're here to help! #CTAUpdate #CorporateTransparencyAct #LegalUpdates #BusinessOwner #ThingsToKnow

    • Corporate Transparency Act Update:
Following the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas' preliminary injunction blocking the
CTA, The U.S. Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network ("FinCEN") has issued the following alert, in part:
In light of a recent federal court order, reporting companies are not currently required to file beneficial ownership information with FinCEN and are not subject to liability if they fail to do so while the order remains in force. However, reporting companies may continue to voluntarily submit beneficial ownership information reports.
    • Takeaways from FinCEN's Alert:
Reporting Companies are NOT required to file Beneficial Ownership Information
Reports ("BOIR") at this time.
Reporting Companies will NOT face any liability or penalties for not complying with the CTA, including not filing a BOIR, while the injunction is outstanding.
Reporting Companies may voluntarily file a BOIR while the injunction is outstanding.
    • Action Steps for Business Owners
Prepare for potential changes! Be ready to promptly and timely file a BOIR in the event that the preliminary injunction is stayed or lifted, or if there is a final determination from the courts upholding the constitutionality of the CTA.

  • Just yesterday, December 3rd, the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas issued a nationwide preliminary injunction blocking the Corporate Transparency Act and its implementing regulations. What this means for you – - If your company is classified as a “Reporting Company” that was in existence prior to January 1, 2024, and that would have otherwise been required to file a Beneficial Ownership Information Report by January 1, 2025, you do not need to file a Beneficial Ownership Information Report by January 1, 2025. For those who have already filed a Beneficial Ownership Information Report, there is nothing to do. For those who were preparing to file their report by the end of the year, you can put a hold on those efforts. - If your company is classified as a “Reporting Company” that is newly formed, you do not have to file a Beneficial Ownership Information Report following formation. We are monitoring the case that is before the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, as well as the other cases that are pending in other courts. We will continue to keep you updated as these matters progress. #corporatetransparencyact #CTA #businesslaw #legalupdates #smallbusinessowner #founder
