Group purchase does not open the invoice phenomenon still peers, standardization will be called the future development direction

Xinhua Jinan, March 22 (reporter Shang, Wei San San) network group buying has become an important way to spend young people, but many consumers will encounter the problem of hard to open invoices. Although the general administration of Industry and Commerce recently issued the "on the Strengthening of Network group purchase management of the views", but the current purchase does not open the invoice phenomenon is still "pass" practice. Experts believe that buyers have the right to obtain invoices, China's network group purchase and other e-commerce should not rely on "tax-free environment" growth, legalization, standardization will be the future development direction.

Recently came to Jinan on business in Shandong province, Texas citizen Mr. Wang, 118 yuan to buy the original price of 198 Yuan Inn hotel accommodation. But when the checkout to the invoice, the hotel staff said, "Group purchase is not open invoices."

The reporter contacted the American Regiment net, the litters regiment and so on many domestic well-known group buying website, the staff all told the reporter, buys the website does not issue the invoice. "You can print out the electronic vouchers that we send to your phone, but your organization's inability to claim reimbursement depends on the specifics of your financial management." A staff member of the Litters Regiment said.

In the case that the group purchase website does not provide invoices, some consumers can only obtain invoices from merchants. However, most of the businesses to the price is too low, close to the cost of the price, refused to issue invoices. "The Group Purchase website lets you find us to develop the ticket, then we lets you look for buys the website development ticket." "When the reporter calls to participate in the September Day food and beverage Jinan by seven Road shop, its staff so expressed."

In order to standardize the network group buying business activities, the general administration of Industry and Commerce recently issued the "on the Strengthening of Network group purchase management of the views" clearly put forward, group purchase site operators to consumers issued purchase vouchers or service documents, should comply with the relevant state regulations or business practices, with the consent of consumers, can be If the consumer requests the purchase certificate or service document issued by the owner of the group purchase website, the operator shall issue it.

For this "new rule", some group buying site said that the issuance of receipts and general vouchers can, but still can not open invoices. The long-standing problem that the net buys does not open the invoice, it seems that the temporary difficulty has changed.

According to the "People's Republic of China Invoice management measures", the sale of goods, the provision of services and other business activities of units and individuals, external business transactions to collect money, the recipient should be invoiced to the payer. If the invoices are not issued in accordance with the provisions, the tax authorities shall order the time limit to correct them and confiscate the ill-gotten gains, and shall be fined below 10,000 yuan.

The reporter called the Tax department 12366 Tax Service hotline, staff said that consumers ultimately have the right to receive invoices, otherwise you can call the telephone complaints. But the staff also said that there are more similar complaints at present, but the form of cooperation between group buying website and merchant is different, the specific who development ticket needs to be verified and then determined, this process may take a certain amount of time.

Group purchase difficult to open invoices in violation of the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, but also to other normal providers of invoices caused unfair competition, for the national tax is also a huge loss. such as the ten-way restaurant launched the group buying activities, has 1687 participants. In accordance with 166 yuan, each tax 5.5%, only this one involves tax 15402.31 yuan. In addition, does not open the invoice, but the food is included in the operating costs, but also to evade part of the enterprise income tax.

According to the independent group buying Navigation website "Regiment 800" the latest data shows that 2011 domestic group buying market total transaction amounted to 11 billion yuan, increased 550% than last year. and "One Amoy Net" released 2011 year group buying report, 2011 National Commodity and Life Service two big group purchase item total turnover amounted to 20.11 billion yuan, is expected 2012, our country buys trades trade volume will impact 50 billion yuan mark.

According to this calculation, if the purchase does not open invoices can not be effectively restricted, then only business tax, urban construction tax, education surcharge will be lost about 2 billion yuan of tax, if combined with income tax and other taxes, involved in more tax losses.

Some experts and industry insiders believe that the advantages of group buying and other E-commerce is not to be able to "tax avoidance", fairness, legalization, standardized development will be the inevitable development direction of E-commerce in the future.

With group buying, e-commerce and other e-commerce development, regulatory measures are also constantly improving, in addition to the new network group buy "new rules", in late February this year, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Commerce and other eight departments issued the "on promoting the healthy and rapid development of E-commerce Notice", the year will Guangzhou and other 22 cities to carry out electronic invoice application pilot, in order to standardize the online purchase of invoices.

In response to some netizens worried that "if the standard group buying development tickets, the increased cost is easy to be passed on to consumers," Kingru law firm director Guaying that not to develop the network economy and ignore its existing problems. Group purchase must be legitimate and orderly prosperity and development. It is recommended that the State introduce electronic invoices and end the "stocking period" of e-commerce tax administration.

Some people in the industry believe that in the past, group buying site relies on the whole of the electronic business of tax-free environment for rapid growth, low prices of products and services quickly attract a large number of consumers, this situation will be with the continuous improvement of the system and the end, for the industry is also a shuffle opportunity
