According to the Beijing commercial news reporter to understand

A recent news that the "Electricity dealers tax proposal has been adopted by the relevant departments, the year will be a 5% tax on the electric business enterprises," and the U.S. Electric Power tax bill has just been passed, so that the credibility of the increasingly strengthened. According to the Beijing commercial News reporter understands, the electricity merchant levies the tax already is the certainty, but in the collection quota, the collection scope as well as the time has not been conclusive.

It's jianzaixianshang to tax the electricity dealers

At the end of May, there were media reports that this year, the "two sessions" on Suning chairman Jindong on the levy of electricity dealers have been adopted by the relevant ministries, the State Administration of Taxation, Ministry of Commerce and other departments are in full swing to investigate the implementation of E-commerce tax measures, is expected to levy 5% of the year

In response to this rumor, Beijing Commercial newspaper reporter interviewed the relevant government departments. According to Zhao, deputy director of the Ministry of Commerce's Research department of Consumer Economics, as a member of the Ministry of Commerce's Advisory Committee on Electronic Commerce, she had received the Ministry of Commerce's collection of opinions on the taxation of electric dealers. The comments concern "how to collect" and "how much to collect".

Last year, Taobao + Cat Total sales breakthrough 1 trillion yuan, there is a point of view that the state of the small and medium-sized electric enterprises tax is imperative. Jindong in the proposal pointed to the Consumer-to-consumer platform of the phenomenon of tax-free sales, provoked the industry "war". This March, the State administration of taxation issued the "Network Invoice management measures" for the electronic Business enterprises to provide convenient invoices. From various angles, it is jianzaixianshang to tax the electricity dealers. However, Zhao said there was no certainty about the 5% tax rate.

1 time: Set up a buffer period

"The year levy" let many small sellers big call wolf. However, in the industry, it is unlikely to levy a business tax by the end of this year, because "before the introduction of the need for all views will take time."

However, now Jianzaixianshang has to send, the electricity business tax has begun to investigate. When to start the levy has become the focus of attention. In this respect, as China's largest e-commerce sellers gathering place, Alibaba's Taobao has issued a statement said, not opposed to the electricity business tax, but opposed to the current tax on electricity dealers.

Ma Yun has also been aware of the inevitability of the electricity business tax, as early as in 2011, the Network Business conference, Ma said, online shop to be ready to tax, "when the shop began to tax, not in the hands of Taobao." Taobao can do is to work together with the network, the tax time and amount appropriate to relax.

The relevant person in charge of an electric business enterprise thinks, the electricity merchant collects a tax can, but must give the on-line timetable, and set up a buffer period in advance, reserve sufficient time as the preparation period, let these stores smooth transition. A direct tax would have a knock-on effect on businesses, especially small sellers, which could lead to the closure of a batch of businesses. "But if a buffer period is set up to allow companies to reserve a buffer period and retain sufficient operating expenses, these enterprises have the opportunity to survive." ”

In spite of the 2008 State Council reform, the State Council agreed that the plan is to "guide and coordinate the development of e-commerce", but because E-commerce is also a business category, the Ministry of Commerce in June 2011 formed a division of E-commerce and Information technology, responsible for the macro-electronic commerce guidance and management. All departments from their respective responsibilities set out the relevant policies and management measures, there is inconsistent, uncoordinated or even contradictory phenomenon, but also let the electricity business tax a drag and drop.

2 quota: Mo across

Taobao, the cat last year to achieve turnover of 1 trillion yuan, of which the cat turnover is roughly 200 billion yuan, conservative estimate Taobao turnover of about 800 billion yuan. If according to rumors, do not calculate the amount of tax relief and a rough calculation, to 5% of the amount of tax, Taobao merchants will increase the cost of nearly 40 billion yuan a year.

However, in the industry's view, the rumor that 5% of the levy is not a high level of credibility. People close to the regulatory level said in an interview with the media that "the main sales of electronic stores are physical goods rather than services, is not likely to be levied at the tax rate of 5% of the business tax." and the current legal provisions of the value-added tax 6 file tax rate does not have 5% of this file, so it is unlikely to separate legislation on the electricity business to open up a new rate of tax.

Taobao has a large number of new businesses and micro-enterprises, the electricity business tax how to collect, how much, become the focus of controversy. Beijing Commercial newspaper reporter in the interview process found that the current industry on the levy of a more unified opinion. In the system can design appropriate tax concessions, the small turnover of the merchant set up exemption amount, more than the exemption amount according to the turnover size to levy.

Zhaojing, an expert on electrical business at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, also said that "from the level of policy recommendations, the electrical business is still developing industry, the country's preferential policies should be as far as possible to its tilt." And tax rates should not be across and should be treated differently according to turnover.

In fact, the offline retailer's tax payment is not a one-size-fits-all one, Zhao said. such as roadside shops, wholesale market stalls, are using a quota levy, pay 500 yuan per month.

3 Range: Can we guarantee fairness

For the electricity business tax, Taobao previously called on the official microblogging, the tax damage is hard to start young people, the individual small shopkeepers tax is their hope and future tax. But from a fair market setting, taxation makes sense.

At present, including Beijing-East, Suning easy to buy, Dangdang, where customers, such as the scale of E-commerce enterprises, can do in accordance with the company law and the relevant provisions of the tax law to pay taxes, and in accordance with the corresponding proportion of surrendered. But Taobao sellers, especially small and medium sellers, but because the state-related departments do not require their own online sales tax, and benefits from tax exemption and other advantages, this part of the seller can provide cheap goods.

Experts said that at present, too many small sellers in the market lack of brand and core competitiveness, if the long-term low quality and low price to compete, itself on the market is not much good, these small sellers also need to be promoted to regularization transfer. In addition, in the transfer process, regularization is bound to pay taxes, but in the small sellers when the support of the policy is reasonable, but when the size of these sellers, but also on the line does not pay taxes and other competition on the other law-abiding operators caused discrimination.

However, there are a lot of Taobao sellers of this view expressed negative attitude. Some sellers said that the company generally believe that the tax is conducive to fair development of the industry, but in many small and medium-sized sellers, the fairness of the tax will cause unfair management. "Large enterprises due to large scale, high contribution to GDP, many local governments will be in the land and other aspects of concessions and support, but these small sellers are absolutely not enjoy." Therefore, on the whole, the operating costs of small sellers will be higher than the size of the electricity business. ”

The influence of electricity quotient tax on geometry

Will force Taobao sellers to raise prices

A computer, a camera, a printer, this is the star Clear (alias) Taobao store all the belongings. Star clear Taobao on the store has more than three years, the original shop is simply to pass the time, thinking about the side with the child to earn a little money to subsidize the family. After three years of operation, at present her shop a year's turnover has been able to break through million yuan, the profit is about 100,000 yuan.

For the current hot discussion of the electricity business tax, star clear puzzled: "The state is not to take the individual tax exemption measures? Why do we collect taxes on individual individuals?" At the same time, star Sunny said that if the state for the electricity business tax, Taobao goods may be collective price increases, will lose the cost advantage.

However, the Korean clothing house related to the charge of the tax is a different view. The official said that the State administration of taxation issued the "Network Invoice management measures" from April 1 onwards in the nationwide implementation of the use of online invoices. The implementation of the network invoice is advantageous to the electric dealer market norm and the consumer rights protection. As for the outside rumor of this move will promote the price of online shopping products, the statement, Han are denied. Invoices to buyers, you can enhance their trust in the Korean clothing store, invoicing, tax, although it will increase operating costs, but the Han are not relying on price to attract consumers, low-cost is not sustainable development strategy, brand value is to attract consumers to buy the core.

will lead to a large number of Taobao business closures

A Amoy search, Taobao search product owner Ghost foot seven days ago published a network article mentioned, 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.

A person in charge of the electricity business bluntly, because the tax burden is high, small business if honest tax, 90% may collapse. According to China's existing tax system and market environment, SMEs are difficult to survive. While let me pay heavy duty, side wants me to sell cheap, the enterprise is sandwiched in the middle not to die is difficult.

Industry insiders pointed out that, because the state-related departments do not require Taobao sellers to their own online sales tax, this part of the seller can provide cheap goods. But once this part of the seller is included in the tax, not only will the cost be transferred directly to the consumer, but it will also exacerbate competition in the consumer-to-consumer industry.

But in many industry personage's opinion, the difficulty that the electricity merchant pays taxes, also in the massive small and medium sellers body. A spokesman for the tax department, who declined to be named, said in an interview with the Beijing Business newspaper that the tax authorities had been exploring appropriate ways to tax the electricity dealers, but the core problem was that it was not possible to identify the dealer turnover. "The main force in the domestic electricity market is a large number of ' C stores ', many shops even have no license, let alone pay taxes." The head of the tax department said.

Will it be good for business enterprises

For now the industry's hot discussion of the electricity business tax, a well-known domestic enterprises responsible for the business, even if the current levy tax, the enterprise is also no impact.

However, the person in charge thinks, this proposal has the biggest influence to the Consumer-to-consumer that Taobao sellers represent. The electricity merchant levies a direct blow to Taobao, "at present, Ali has shifted many resources from Taobao to the day cat, now Taobao in the downhill, a lot of Amoy brand has been at risk, can jump to the cat on the need for a certain size and qualification, most Taobao sellers do not have this qualification, if the tax now will have a huge impact on small sellers.

In this respect, Le Bee network PR director leaves the boat to agree. Leaf boat said that the electricity business tax will not have much impact on the existing market structure, especially for the Business-to-consumer platform, the day-to-day tax liability. And for the Consumer-to-consumer will have a certain impact, in some small profit margins are likely to change the business model because of tax problems.
