AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

GST Changes: India’s GST Council has approved in principle an optional annual return for more than 1.6 million consumer-facing small businesses with turnover up to ₹5 crore; taxes would still be paid quarterly. Faster refunds, simpler registration and lower penalties are also proposed, with changes slated for April 2027. Innovation and Finance: Singapore committed S$120 million to SME innovation centres, while India approved a ₹10,000-crore growth fund for small and medium firms. In the U.S., Stripe and FedEx are partnering to use shipping data to broaden small businesses’ access to financing. Tax Payment Pressure: Australian small businesses are pushing back against a ban on paying tax bills by credit card, arguing the change shifts costs onto owners already facing cash-flow strain.
