Business Wire IndiaAvalara, Inc., a leading GST compliance automation solution provider, announces the successful GSTR-2 filing on production for its clients. The Avalara software solution, TrustFile GST, created history in the filing of GSTR-2 for its clients, earlier in the month of July 2017.

Harshad Shinde, Product Manager, GST India, Avalara stated, “We have successfully filed GSTR-2 recently and became one of the first ASPs to file GSTR-2 with the GSTN guidelines. I am confident Avalara TrustFile GST will be one of the first ASP solutions to file GSTR-3 for its customers.”

Filing of GSTR-2 is a complex task, requiring amalgamation and reconciliation of sales and purchase data, but Avalara TrustFile GST is an automation solution that has simplified this process through the use of cloud technology:
  • Retrieving Data: GSTR-2 requires businesses to submit accurate sales and purchase data each month. Avalara TrustFile GST can either directly extract this sales & purchase data from an established ERP or accounting system, or give a business, a mechanism to upload a simple CSV file.
  • ITC issues: In the GSTR-2, it’s important to enter the ITC claim amount for each invoice or C/D notes individually. Avalara makes this very easy through GSTR 2 input template in the CSV file.
  • Reconciliation issues: GSTR-2 requires accurate reconciliation of invoices between businesses, including all debit/credit notes. Avalara TrustFile offers an auto reconciliation feature and matching of invoices in GSTR2A.
Coupled with an additional advantage of prior GST experience (in Brazil and Canada) and Avalara’s experience in serving more than 20,000 clients globally, Avalara TrustFile GST is a cloud based solution that helps with complete automation of GST compliance. TrustFile GST provides a huge array of benefits, including timely compliance, report generation, comparison of reports, decision making, cost-effectiveness with reduced staff, technical and online support, and more.

"Crypto Click Affiliate" – Brand New and Upcoming ASP Specialized in Cryptocurrency! We Provide Only Exceptional ICOs That Passed Our Strict Guidelines and Help Facilitate Fundraising for Technological Developments with Potential!

Business Wire India

Crypto Click Limited has now started general affiliate registration for our ICO/cryptocurrency ASP “Crypto Click Affiliate” from 10th of November 2017.

 

“Crypto Click Affiliate” - ICO/cryptocurrency related ASP
Official Website: https://crypto-click.com/asia-member

 

- Concept of Crypto Click Affiliate

 

Our offered products are limited to cryptocurrency related products and affiliate commission will be paid out in Bitcoin.

 

ICOs (Initial Coin Offering) are attracting massive attention in the cryptocurrency industry at the moment.

 

ICOs are a way for start-up companies to raise money by selling investors tokens in exchange for equity, similar to an IPO.

 

ICO are booming with massive growth in the overall cryptocurrency industry. To illustrate this, there was an ICO that raised 35mil USD within 30sec, which was a big news in the industry.
Therefore “Crypto Click Affiliate” - the ICO and Cryptocurrency ASP - is the most attractive ASP, which provides our affiliates to earn massive commission with ICO products.

 

- Why ICO?

 

The ICO structure is very similar to an IPO.
If the tokens issued in the ICO was 1 USD as the starting price (for corporate fundraising), its price could go up to 2 USD, 3 USD and more when listed (=capital gain for investors).
This is the same effect as people investing in attractive unlisted stocks, more funds come into more attractive ICOs.

 

- Our mission is to serve our trusted affiliate partners with only exceptional ICOs. We believe this enables the advancement of technology, growth, and economic progress through our specialized affiliation program.

 

The growing popularity of ICOs in the global blockchain industry is due to it being the newest way of corporate funding.
However, there are a number of incorrect information in circulation about ICOs.

 

Free flow of ICO information is not consistent, therefore purchaser can receive inaccurate and twisted information causing big misunderstanding of the white paper and the project itself.
ICO hosts providing accurate and detailed information for a deeper understanding of the project is the key to a successful fundraising.

 

Crypto Click Affiliate is here to provide the much needed true information to our affiliates.
We will provide scheduled marketing material like ICO team interviews and IR information constantly.
Only exceptional ICOs that passed our strict guidelines are going to be our partners for their fundraising.
We have already lined up a number of credible ICO partners, mainly from Europe, through our extensive global network.
Please note that 4 of those amazing ICO partners are already in preparation and will soon be ready for their pre-sales.
And there are more and more of incredible ICO partners coming our way!

 

- Why Crypto Click Affiliate?

 

1. Life time commission
You can receive your commission permanently with Crypto Click Affiliate, unlike other affiliate systems.

 

In a general affiliate set up, affiliates earn their commission only from their customer’s first product purchase.
In our affiliation program, our affiliates will receive commission on their customer’s every purchase without limitation.
The more the customers purchase, the bigger the commission, permanently.

 

2. High average spending per customer
We have data that shows average spending of a customer is around 2,630 USD.
Please remember that ICO customers are investors and their investment amount is increasing in speed with the hype of the ICO market.

 

3. 100% approval rate!
In general affiliation, ASP pays out commission only after advertisers approve sales of affiliates.
ASPs are therefore unable to pay out commissions to affiliates without having these approvals.
With this non-transparent system, advertisers have the power and could falsely adjust sales of affiliates.

 

At Crypto Click Affiliate, we are the only ones to review, confirm and approve affiliate sales and not the advertisers.
With our innovative affiliation system, we can prevent the unfortunate losses of affiliate’s efforts.

 

4. Speedy 1 day commission payout
Speedy 1 day commission payout is now possible with these steps;

 

1. We send customer’s purchase amount to our payment solution system

 

2. We manage customer’s information within our system

 

3. We review, confirm and approve all the affiliate sales

 

4. We payout commission to our affiliates first

 

5. Finally we payout the rest to our ICO partners

 

Please note that on the first month of operation of our program, we will run payouts in 2 week cycles.
By January 2018, we estimated to be able to provide you payouts within 1 day!

 

5. Hybrid commission program with affiliate commission & bounty
Crypto Click Affiliate introduces the new “Bounty Program” apart from the affiliate commissions.
Our affiliates can earn ICO tokens as a “bounty” reward, in exchange for media exposure on SNS, blogs and video-sharing sites.

 

We provide revenue share (affiliate commission) + media exposure commission (bounty) as a new hybrid style of an ASP.
Please refer to below for our base reward program (please note that commission details will be adjusted for each ICO);

 

1. SNS Bounty
Twitter – Earn bounty by retweeting official ICO tweets five times.
Facebook – Earn bounty by providing “likes” and shares of official ICO posts.

 

2. Blog/Article post Bounty
Earn bounty by posting an article of the ICO’s whitepaper and road map.

 

3. Movie upload Bounty
Earn bounty by uploading original movies about ICO products.

 

Our affiliates can earn commission just by media exposure without actual sales, which is great for affiliation beginners!
Use both of our attractive hybrid commission programs to maximize your earnings!
Hurry and join us on our brand new cryptocurrency affiliate program now!

Business Wire India

In celebration of the Final Draw for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™, Visa (NYSE: V), the Official Payment Service Partner of FIFA, released travel and spending data for the 2018 FIFA World Cup™. Throughout official FIFA venues, Visa will enable a cash-free fan experience by implementing point-of-sale terminals that accept a Visa credit or debit card and a range of digital payments, such as those made via phone or watch.

 

These enhancements ensure official FIFA venues are equipped with the latest in payment innovation and are ready for the increase in expected international visitors to Russia. Based on spending trends and insights from Visa, it is projected that Russia will host an additional 300,000 to 500,000 international visitors1 during the months of June and July 2018, on top of a baseline average of 4.3 million total international visitors2 to Russia during that same time period over the past four years.

 

Based on historical data1 from the previous four FIFA World Cup™ tournaments, Visa projects foreign visitors to Russia will represent a 6 to 10 percent increase in foreign visitors to the country in June and July 2018. The largest share of non-native travelers to Russia are forecast to come from:

 
  • Europe (69 percent)
  • Asia Pacific (12 percent)
  • Americas (8 percent)


Based on historical data3 from the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™, Visa anticipates Russia can expect to see an increase in per traveler spending. On average, visitors attending the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ spent 31 percent more3 per card than regular tourists in Brazil. Visa projects this difference was a result of FIFA World Cup™ fans spending:

 
  • Over 25 percent more at restaurants
  • Over 10 percent more on transportation
  • Close to 10 percent more on lodging


“As the Official Payment Service Partner of FIFA, Visa is excited for fans all over the world to join us in Russia,” said Ekaterina Petelina, country manager, Visa Russia. “From unveiling the latest payment innovations to upgrading payment terminals to allow for contactless cards and digital payments, such as those made via phone or watch, throughout official venues, Visa will continue to elevate the fan experience. Visa provides simple and secure payment options for those in attendance, so they can get back to their seats quickly and focus on the match.”

 

Global ticket sales for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™ continue to perform well, as FIFA recently reported4 that:

 
  • Close to 800,000 tickets have been sold so far to the FIFA World Cup global fan base.
  • Nearly 50 percent of the ticketing demand is coming from the host country, Russia, with Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China, Colombia, Germany, India, Mexico and the United States making up the largest number of international requests.


To ensure fans have a seamless and secure payment experience when attending the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™, Visa developed the following recommended travel tips that fans can take advantage of.

 

Know Before You Go to Russia

 
  • Notify your issuing bank or financial institution of anticipated travel plans, including use of Visa debit, credit or prepaid cards abroad to avoid any issues while processing transactions. Issuing banks can also provide information about travel-related benefits for Visa account holders, including opt-in mobile services, such as Mobile Location Confirmation through your bank’s mobile app or Visa’s Travel Authorization Tag.
  • Register for SMS notifications with your specific bank, or the bank’s transaction notification service, to track purchases made on your Visa accounts as you travel.
  • Set up automatic bill pay for any credit cards to give you some peace-of-mind that your account will be current while traveling abroad.
  • Make two copies of important travel documents, namely your passport, in case of emergency. Leave one copy with a friend or relative and carry the other separate from your original documents. You can also take a photo with your cellphone of important documents.


Travel Tips for Fans in Russia

 
  • When paying by card, pay in “local currency” for a competitive exchange rate.
  • Use a credit or debit card for purchases. Visa offers security, convenience and ease when paying abroad. It is safer than carrying cash.
  • Whenever possible, pay through a chip-activated terminal when using your credit or debit card for enhanced security.
  • Look for the Visa or PLUS logo at any point-of-sale terminal to ensure international payment cards are accepted.


As the Official Payment Service Partner of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™, Visa will be celebrating the spirit of football in Russia and is looking forward to showcasing the future of digital payments with fans from all over the globe.

Methodology

 

Visa International Travel (VISIT) platform is a proprietary model that combines Visa's cardholder data with publicly-available cross-border arrival statistics. The database provides a comprehensive view into high-frequency cross-border travel flows, currently encompassing the top 82 origin and destination countries, which collectively account for more than 80 percent of global travel. VISIT combines unique counts of Visa cardholders that register a face-to-face transaction at a merchant outside their home country in a given calendar month with other transaction data such as average spend per cardholder, card usage patterns at lodging merchants and others. Visa uses this data to econometrically model official arrival statistics compiled by various government sources and to generate estimates that fill in the large gaps existing in the cross-border travel data.

Optimism Rises as Holiday Season Begins

Business Wire IndiaSentiment improved in the diamond trade as expectations rose for the US and Chinese holiday seasons. Polished-diamond trading was stable in November, with jewelers filling Christmas orders.

Trading activity was slower than previous years, and polished prices softened during the month. The RapNet Diamond Index (RAPI) for 1-carat diamonds slid 0.9% in November and has fallen 5.5% since January.

The Rapaport Monthly Report – December 2017 outlines three reasons diamond prices declined despite the promise of the holiday season:
  1. Trading slowed with Indian dealers on vacation, as the Diwali festival began later than usual this year;
  2. There is a high volume of goods on the market. The number of unique stones listed on RapNet was up 5% year on year, reaching 1.35 million on December 1;
  3. Demand remains selective, focusing on medium and lower qualities, with very weak demand for D- to F-color, IF- to VVS-clarity diamonds, which are an important part of RAPI.
Manufacturers and dealers continue to carry the risk of holding the industry’s inventory, with many retailers relying on memo supplies and refusing to maintain large inventory positions. Manufacturers are being squeezed, as mining companies increased production and supply in 2017, while US jewelers have reduced their stock requirements.

The trade is encouraged by reports of a good start to the holiday season, with strong showings in mobile sales over Thanksgiving weekend and Cyber Monday. At the same time, double-digit growth among the Hong Kong-based jewelers has fueled optimism for the Chinese New Year season.

The industry is also benefiting from stronger generic marketing this year. Trading is expected to improve in the first quarter, when jewelers typically replenish stock after the holiday season. Effective advertising will help sustain the polished market once that restocking is complete.
