In 2025, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) face new compliance hurdles as global tax reforms take effect. Whether you're a startup, regional business, or growing enterprise, navigating new rules like the OECD’s Pillar Two and e-invoicing mandates is no longer optional—it's essential.
At Y Advisory, we work with SMEs every day to simplify these changes into clear, actionable strategies. Here’s what you need to know now.
🔍 1. What Is Pillar Two and Why It Matters (Even for SMEs)
The OECD’s Pillar Two framework introduces a global minimum tax rate of 15% for large multinational enterprises. While you may think this doesn’t apply to your SME, think again.
Indirect Impacts on SMEs:
If you're part of a larger group, Pillar Two reporting could affect your local operations.
Cross-border transactions and supply chain dependencies now require greater tax transparency.
Investors and partners are beginning to demand Pillar Two-ready compliance reports—even from non-multinationals.
📌 Y Advisory Tip: Start preparing your tax reporting infrastructure now. We can help you assess exposure and set up controls.
🧾 2. E-Invoicing Mandates Are Expanding Worldwide
Digital tax reporting is gaining traction across Europe, Asia, and parts of Latin America. For SMEs, this means your invoices, VAT/GST filings, and financial records must be digitally formatted and submitted in near real-time.
Key Regions Implementing E-Invoicing in 2025:
Australia – Peppol e-invoicing push for B2B
Singapore – Mandatory e-invoicing for public sector suppliers
EU – VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) rollout starting
📌 Y Advisory Tip: Check whether your accounting software supports e-invoicing standards like Peppol or XML-based templates. We can help you upgrade.
💼 3. Digital Assets: Crypto and Tax Compliance
If your business has received or paid in cryptocurrency, regulators now expect detailed accounting of:
Cost basis
Wallet tracking
Fair market valuation
As of 2025, several tax authorities (e.g., the IRS and HMRC) now require specific crypto transaction disclosures for corporations.
📌 Y Advisory Tip: We offer crypto-specific tax advisory for SMEs using digital assets or stablecoins in business operations.
