How to set up tax standards

Because the profit point of different industries, if all according to a unified standard tax, then operating electronic digital products online will suffer loss, or even lose money. In addition, the shop's credit rating can only indicate turnover, high turnover does not mean that turnover and profits must be high.
Xu said that the biggest advantage of the shop is lower than the real store prices, and this is largely based on the online shop does not pay taxes. If you tax the shop, the net trader can only raise the price and pass the tax on to the consumers, which will greatly weaken the competitiveness of the shop.

Professor Huangmin, an E-commerce expert at Wuhan University, said that network trading is also a form of business behavior, tax is the legal obligation of the network, but in the specific implementation process, should be treated differently.

Earlier, on whether the tax on the shop in Beijing, Hangzhou and other place caused overheating, but eventually did not implement, Wuhan's E-commerce development is not fast enough, more need easy policy.

It is not conducive to the sustainable and healthy development of e-commerce that the low price brought by the tax payment is the core competitiveness of the shop. Only by improving the quality of products and services, consumers and managers will be the formation of a win-win situation.
