| | | | India’s 2025 goods and services tax (GST) rate rationalization gives the southern state of Tamil Nadu a competitive edge across sectors like textiles, food processing, automobiles, and renewable energy. From Tiruppur’s knitwear to Sriperumbudur’s auto factories, the state will benefit from lower costs, higher margins, and stronger global positioning. | | | | | From October 1, 2025, China’s State Administration of Taxation (STA) will enforce Announcement 17, banning the use of third-party export documents. Indian importers must adapt sourcing strategies, verify supplier credentials, and ensure strict compliance to avoid trade disruptions. | | | | | India’s updated GST regime retains Input Tax Credit (ITC) but introduces sector-specific restrictions. Know how businesses can manage credit blocking or reversals, adjust Rule 42/43 compliance via automation, and realign contracts to stay compliant. | | | | | India will open third-party bidding on September 30, 2025, to engage independent agencies under the Corporate Data Management Scheme (CDMS). The initiative aims to upgrade the MCA21 system into a data warehouse and analytics platform. | | | | | Foreign investors in India’s solar sector benefit from the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme, customs duties, and rising global demand. With India targeting 500 GW of renewable capacity by 2030, opportunities in solar manufacturing continue to expand. | | | | | Indian firms can tap Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) tariff concessions by establishing operations in Vietnam. Success depends on meeting Rules of Origin (RoO) criteria, securing proper certification, and optimizing supply chains. |
