A Texas court temporarily blocks the Corporate Transparency Act, halting a requirement for small businesses to report ownership details.

A U.S. District Court in Texas has issued a nationwide injunction temporarily blocking the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), which would have required over 32 million small businesses to report beneficial ownership information to the government by January 1, 2025. The court questioned the act's constitutionality, citing concerns over compliance costs and data misuse. This ruling halts enforcement until further legal proceedings determine its fate, potentially impacting anti-money laundering efforts. Companies should remain prepared for possible future compliance requirements.
