How to tax a myriad of small dealers

"There should be a timetable for the taxation of electricity dealers, and it cannot be done without any tax or haste." "This has basically formed a consensus within the electricity business. And how to tax the vast amount of small electricity dealers, but also a very high technical content of the problem.

What is the form of taxation?

"At present in the days of cats and other platforms open shop, are in the form of enterprises, they have already in the course of business in accordance with the procedures for tax." However, it is difficult to levy a tax on Taobao's shop house. "China internet policy expert Gao Hongbing said," First of all, these shops are shopkeepers to personal identity open shop, this is the characteristics of the network economy era, is an innovative market, not in accordance with the form of enterprise registration, and this in the original legal provisions and no corresponding rules and regulations to regulate, What kind of tax should individuals use to open a shop online?

Gao Hongbing also pointed out that since the personal shop throughout the country, it also involves jurisdiction and forensics issues. For example, in the taxation process, which level of tax authorities are responsible, what kind of taxes should be levied, and which method of obtaining evidence should be taken? These are the problems faced by the electric dealers in taxation.

Reporter has found in the field interview, the current market has a lot of Taobao village, they scattered in a number of small cities in the countryside, and rely on local resources to open shop online, although the annual income is good, and can reach the level of taxation, but these shops are very hidden, basically in the farmers home, how to monitor and forensics is a difficult problem.

How to verify the real turnover?

Chongqing Zhi Jia Technology-Online liberation of the monument CEO Li Mao also told reporters that another big problem of taxation is Taobao sellers real turnover verification. On the surface, the tax department can check the operator bank transactions to confirm turnover, but in fact some Taobao sellers in order to improve the "credit", their own money "brush" sales, how to verify the difficulty.

Wang fill in the view that the most effective means of monitoring may still be Alipay, but only rely on Alipay is not enough, because there are many shop payment is not through Alipay. Therefore, in order to lock these tax bodies, we must start with the business registration and tax registration of the shop, and need the cooperation of industry and commerce, information, Bank, quality inspection and so on to form a linkage supervision system.

How much tax should be levied on electricity dealers?

The amount of tax levied on the electricity dealers is also a topic of general concern to small shopkeepers and industry insiders. CPPCC members, Zhigong Central Xu Xiaolan said that the relevant departments should be given special understanding and research, the introduction of classified guidance, rather than the issue of a tax policy. Although the State also introduced a VAT reform of the system, but this tax is not for all enterprises. The tax authorities should study carefully, because 70% to 80% of E-commerce practitioners are small micro-enterprises.

The Qing Branch Research Center predicts that this year, the government will introduce a policy on E-commerce industry is the general trend, if the relevant tax policy in the implementation of this year, online retail operators operating costs rise, product prices rise, the entire industry's market competitiveness will be affected. 2013 China online retail market transaction size growth will slow to 40% to 50%.

Who is the beneficiary?

Who will benefit if the small sellers pay their taxes? Gao Hongbing that this depends mainly on the amount of revenue taken, and where.

In the past two years, the real store has been the impact of shop, small sellers tax, the entity store will benefit? In this respect, Gao Hongbing a negative attitude. He believes that today offline shops are online shop, the future, line and offline boundaries will be more blurred, tax can not directly play a role in promoting offline consumption.

There is no doubt that in Gao Hongbing's view, the tax on small sellers, government revenue will certainly increase, but once the government decided to levy, it should increase the investment in this field, support the development of small micro-enterprises, market training and norms, such as the problem of logistics short board, The loan problem, which restricts the development of electricity dealers in rural areas, should be followed up. So, if the government correspondingly increases the infrastructure investment and policy support for these small sellers, the tax rate is reasonable and the small sellers, despite paying taxes, actually benefit.
