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
