Tax Tech Upgrade: Samoa has upgraded its $5m Tax Invoice Monitoring System (TIMS), with Cabinet approval and a refresher course for TIMS-registered businesses running 30 April–7 May, aiming to tighten compliance and improve how taxes are tracked and documented. Payments Push: Samoa Payments officially launched, letting local businesses accept online credit card payments more easily—an inclusion boost for SMEs reaching customers beyond physical locations. Crypto Market Moves: Phemex rolled out Pre-IPO Perpetual Futures tied to tech names like OpenAI and SpaceX, while also continuing its monthly Proof of Reserves updates. Cyber Safety & Integrity: Samoa Police highlighted integrity steps with drug testing for senior leadership and renewed focus on cyber safety as threats keep rising. Trade Measurement Boost: Samoa’s metrology work got a lift via donated trade measurement equipment, strengthening calibration and accuracy for weighing and trade. What’s missing: No major new Samoa-specific cyber-attack details in the latest hours—most security items are about preparedness and upgrades.
