It is a matter of sooner or later that the electricity merchant will levy a tax.

Recently, there is news that the State administration of taxation is studying the effective tax collection and management of E-commerce policy plan, in the year to levy 5% tax revenue for electric business enterprises. At the same time, a number of national electric enterprises in North China, east China and other regions to promote electronic invoices, and is expected to promote nationwide, to establish a sound e-business system. At this point, has been a long time to spread the electricity business tax is put on the agenda. But for the Consumer-to-consumer platform such as Taobao, the process of taxing will also face many difficulties, how to levy is the key.

2013, China's online shopping users reached 3, 200 million people, an increase of 24.7%, e-commerce turnover exceeded 10 trillion yuan, the year-on-year increase of 26.8%. Among them, the online retail market turnover volume of more than 1.85 trillion yuan, an increase of 41.2%, accounting for social consumption of total retail sales of the proportion reached 7.8%. Such huge turnover, but not be included in the tax management system, no wonder Suningyun chairman Jindong, the country lost hundreds of billions of tax revenue, which is very unfair to the physical retail.

Indeed, the rapid development of E-commerce at the same time, online shopping "Do not open invoices do not pay taxes" has become a latent rule. For those who open an account on Taobao, because there is no physical store, so there is no need to pay shop rents, and some of the individual businesses because they do not register in the relevant tax authorities, so there is no tax proof, do not need to deliver tax. It is because of the avoidance of shop and tax expenditures, only to make online merchants formed with the real store price difference.

Taobao Consumer-to-consumer platform operating the main body is an individual, many people did not go through the industrial and commercial registration, also did not register in the tax authorities, so Consumer-to-consumer platform tax has been in a blank state, similar to the Beijing-East under the PAT Net. Undoubtedly, this model is advantageous to the merchant, but some fakes rampant and after the after-sale complaint and so on the question also shows Taobao the electricity dealer lacks the supervision loophole. Open the invoice, levy tax ... A range of policies have started to constrain business behavior from the side.

However, as it will directly affect the interests of commercial tenants, especially those of individual businesses, the imposition of taxation on electricity dealers will face a very small obstacle in the implementation process. First, the pursuit of the interests of the seller will resist the tax on the electricity dealers, and secondly, many professional sellers are really small, once the tax, they can only find another way out. For example, an annual sales of 1 million yuan, annual profit of 100,000 Yuan Taobao men's brand sellers, in the payment of value-added tax, education surcharges, urban construction tax, local education surcharges and corporate income tax, the remaining profit of 11340 yuan. It can be said that Taobao and businesses are reluctant.

Of course, since the relevant State departments have already had the relevant plans, whether to collect taxes is only a matter of time. At this point, it leads to another problem, Taobao certification for the big business is still relatively simple, but those small individual businesses how to manage it?

Alipay is the "Only Way" Taobao business transactions. It is a good idea to obtain a detailed list of running water and collect the corresponding tax from the transaction record, after all, the transaction can not be changed once it occurs. Of course, there will also be businesses "desperate", skip Alipay instead of bank card transfer, but less the guarantee of Ali, security will be how? Few businesses would be so risky.

As noted above, some small businesses will be under pressure to make tax policies through trading. To this end, the relevant departments will also avoid a "one-size-fits-all", the establishment of appropriate tax concessions for small business operators to set up exemption amount, more than the number of exemptions based on the turnover of the levy. In fact, Japan has already made a similar policy, that is, only the annual income of more than 1 million yen of the shop only need to report tax. In addition, the Japanese Government stipulates that if its own home as the operating unit, then most of the family expenses can be counted into operating costs, offset the tax, ease the pressure of business.

Ma Yun and Liu have stressed that it is sooner or later to levy a tax on the electric dealer, and is prepared psychologically. For consumers, how the state and the seller weigh the tax is their business, the more part will be passed on to consumers, this is a matter of immediate relevance to us.
