Cattle Industry News NCBA Calls Out Supreme Court Decision on Corporate Transparency Act: A Blow to Family Farms and RanchesThe National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) voiced strong disappointment following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to lift an injunction that had temporarily halted enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA).
The CTA introduces new reporting requirements that some say could impose significant burdens on small businesses, including family-owned farms and ranches. NCBA Executive Director of Government Affairs, Kent Bacus, expressed concern about the potential impact by saying the Corporate Transparency Act will blanket family-owned farms and ranches in excessive red tape, placing millions of small business owners at risk of legal trouble. He went on to say that he is urging President Trump and the Treasury Secretary to intervene and protect small businesses from these onerous requirements by delaying enforcement until a workable solution is found.
While NCBA’s advocacy primarily focuses on farmers and ranchers, the Act’s implications extend beyond agriculture. NCBA’s Director of Policy Communications highlighted how the law could also weigh heavily on small and family-owned meat processors, adding to their regulatory challenges.
The U.S. Supreme Court's decision overturned a nationwide injunction, allowing the Department of Treasury to enforce the Act while ongoing federal court cases challenge its legality.
What This Means for Small Businesses
The CTA would require entities to disclose detailed ownership information to the federal government, which could pose administrative and financial challenges for smaller operations.
Given the complexity of these new requirements, it is recommended that whether in agriculture, meat processing, or other industries—seek advice from legal or tax professionals to ensure compliance and mitigate risks.
