AGP Executive Report

Last update: a day ago

SME Tax Relief Push: Uzbekistan’s new presidential decree raises the VAT regime entry threshold to 12,000× the Base Calculating Amount (from UZS 1B) and offers a simplified VAT option (6% flat VAT, 0% corporate income tax) for eligible service, trade, and catering businesses—though they lose VAT input offsets. Local Business Compliance: South Africa’s Spaza Shop Support Fund (R500m) is moving, but hundreds of spaza shops are failing compliance checks, with verification and funding rolling out after the 2025 registration close. Cross-Border Growth Policy: Nepal’s budget adds foreign-investor-friendly changes—scrapping prior approval for repatriation (notification only) and simplifying investment approvals—plus IT-sector tax breaks like 50% income tax exemption on IT exports. Tech for SMBs: IBM launched Red Hat AI Inference and OpenShift Virtualization services aimed at helping smaller firms deploy AI and manage apps more easily. Community Business Survival: A nearly 100-year-old L.A. taquito landmark, Cielito Lindo/Anita’s Café, is asking for community support as repair costs and pandemic losses strain the family business. Workforce & Costs Pressure: A Philippine exporters group warned that another Metro Manila minimum wage hike could hurt micro enterprises and exporters amid inflation and slowing demand. Regulatory Headwinds: Delaware must release employment records tied to 15 businesses in an ICE subpoena dispute after a federal court denied a delay.
