On December 27, 2024, FinCEN issued a critical update regarding the reporting requirements under the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA). Due to ongoing litigation, businesses are not currently required to submit beneficial ownership information, and no penalties will be imposed for non-compliance while this situation remains in effect. However, companies may still choose to submit beneficial ownership reports voluntarily.

A significant legal development unfolded recently when the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas issued a nationwide injunction halting the enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) and its Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) Reporting Rule. This ruling effectively postpones the requirement for businesses to submit initial BOI reports by the previously established deadline of January 1, 2025.
