ANOTHER UPDATE ON THE CORPORATE TRANSPARENCY ACT
FinCEN Suspends Enforcement
The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), enacted as part of the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020, has faced significant constitutional challenges, culminating in a nationwide injunction. As a result, the U.S. Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has suspended enforcement of the CTA’s reporting requirements, providing temporary relief to affected businesses.
In a significant development, a Texas federal district court has issued a nationwide injunction temporarily blocking enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA). This decision, handed down on December 3 in Texas Top Cop Shop, Inc. v. Merrick Garland (Case No. 4:24-cv-478), deems the CTA and its implementing rules likely unconstitutional.
