The Beijing model's request for Internet operators to license a licence may be the first step towards taxing the future. However, once the tax process is initiated, it may also be a small impact on the personal shop, and some small shops may face the possibility of exiting the Consumer-to-consumer market.

Beijing white-collar Yang use spare time to open a cosmetics shop online, monthly turnover is not too big, but the shop has a stable passenger flow, do not need any human and material costs, small profits but quick turnover. However, such a day may be gone forever.

With the Beijing municipal Trade and Industry Bureau of a paper bulletin, to 0 threshold of the personal shop is known to say goodbye to "unlicensed operation" of the day, a blessing is a curse of the controversy also followed.

Personal Shop License System three most concerned

2. The original registered enterprises or self-employed, if the business scope of E-commerce beyond the original business scope, the need for registration of changes;

3. Individuals who sell or replace their own articles on the internet and who are not for profit may not be registered.

Beijing model raises controversy

March 6, 2008, the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Commerce and Industry issued a draft of E-commerce supervision, the online shop to do the specific scope of the application to be refined. After soliciting social suggestions, the draft is to be formally promulgated at the end of March and implemented in the year.

As early as December 1, 2007, "Beijing Information promotion regulations" began to implement, Beijing has taken the lead in the regulation of online business license should be obtained according to Law, is called the electronic Commerce supervision in Beijing mode-Personal shop license system. However, there is no specific definition of how to do the photo and who needs to do so.

The Beijing municipal Trade and Industry Bureau in the opinion draft clearly stipulates such a: where the purpose of commercial e-commerce operators are required to register, after the business license can be carried out.

Beijing Electronic Commerce Association secretary General Linya in the interview with the reporter said, from the regulations, "licensing" shows that the relevant departments of E-commerce supervision is a gradual process, and the draft also more to guide, norms. "This regulation is more about regulating the online trading model of Consumer-to-consumer, and for law-abiding people, such a rule may not be a good thing, but it will make the market more normative." ”

The joys and sorrows of shopkeepers

Throughout 2007, China's online shopping market total turnover reached 59.4 billion yuan. Taobao alone, the number of users in 2007 reached 53 million people.

The internet's personal trading boom is rife with false and deceptive information. In July 2007, a net buyer in Hubei province, Mr. Li almost on a set of Web site, in the preparation of direct remittance in the net to find the problem, just in time to recover the loss. and online shopping fakes, shoddy and other events have occurred, or the purchase of goods are not satisfied or buy fakes, but also may cause economic losses and nowhere to defend.

Beijing Chaoyang law firm lawyer, China Internet Association Legal experts Hu Gang said, with the rapid development of E-commerce, the State Council on the Internet Information on the management of the method has not adapted to the current situation. "Online Trading class site is the first to give ordinary users to exchange idle items and set up a place, and later evolved to individual users on the platform to sell a lot of goods, this is not a simple exchange, is very normative necessary."

Particularly noteworthy is that Taobao, ebay, Pat and other E-commerce service sites are not registered in Beijing, so not subject to the jurisdiction of the local regulations.

Nevertheless, the collection of such a draft is still causing a lot of netizens ' attention.

"In the future, the identity of online publicity will make my internet shopping more secure, especially the purchase of big-ticket items are more assured." "In the reporter set up Taobao discussion group, small fish bubble said."

However, more is the owner's doubts and worries, the possibility of the increase in costs after the photo is their most worried.

"If in the future to open a shop on the Internet to license, then do the tax after the photo will certainly follow, this greatly hit the low cost of our business open shop people." "North Drift," said the Little Gull, he and his friends in the online opened a few shop, do clothing wholesale business.

It is understood that the online registration of a storefront is very simple, as long as the authenticity of the identity of the owner can be identified. The small gull tells the reporter, as long as the seller shows the identity card, then will the certificate and the bank card account binding can, no other special request.

"Selling clothes online, compared with physical stores to save rent, water, electricity, labor and other costs, the price compared to physical stores can also be much lower, low prices to attract traffic, one months down still can earn a lot of, but the Office of taxation will increase costs and loss of price advantage." Said the little gull with great apprehension.

The young Gull thinks, now the user buys the thing online, the spelling is the price. "You go to Taobao search the same product can search out dozens of pages of links, if your things high price, who will buy you?" So we are relying on small profits and quick turnover to achieve the accumulation of profits, once the cost went up, may be a lot of people will not open shop online.

In addition, for how to identify whether the personal shop for profit for the purpose, some shop owners also have a lot of doubts, the shopkeeper said: "If the value of 200 yuan of things I sell 100 yuan discount for the purpose of profit?" Taobao many commodity prices are far below the actual value, how should this be defined?

Moreover, this local regulation is likely to not achieve the regulatory effect. "There are few independent sites in Consumer-to-consumer in Beijing, and Taobao, ebay, etc. are not registered in Beijing, it may only lead to more users to abandon in Beijing registered independent domain name site and turn to other places to register, such as Taobao, ebay and other sites, so that this regulation is likely to become dead. "An expert on Internet policy Research said to this reporter.

If the licence comes, will the tax be far behind?

Online shopping is cheap, convenient, but the active tax, the provision of invoice documents are few businesses. Although it is only local regulations, it also seems to herald the advent of the era of tax on online transactions.

Beijing Electronic Commerce Association secretary General Linya said, the current online shopping mall in the enterprise users, have been strictly audited, tax, etc. also in accordance with the provisions of the Industrial and commercial tax department. However, the regulation of personal shop tax is still blank, the relevant government departments have not issued corresponding management measures. And the reporter also from Taobao, ebay and other websites learned that for individual users, the network is in the agreement with the user to remind users of voluntary tax.

The first nationwide online tax evasion trial in Shanghai in July 2007 may still impress people. The defendant, Zhang borrowed a company on the internet to sell nearly 2.9 million yuan tax-containing goods, was sentenced to two years imprisonment, suspended two years, and a fine of 60,000 yuan. The topic of tax on online transactions has aroused hot discussion in all circles of society.

Subsequently, in August 2007, the China Electronic Commerce Association and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Finance and Commerce sponsored the "' Eleven-Five ' period of E-commerce Environmental construction Experts Seminar", the experts also on whether personal online transactions should be taxed, the timing and means of tax and other issues have been hotly discussed. It is understood that at that time, the institute also wrote a special research report on the taxation of Consumer-to-consumer market network, and provided the relevant departments with reference to decision-making.

Not only that, as early as in April 2007, the Ministry of Commerce issued the "Ministry of Commerce on the online trade guidance" (draft), and did not make a clear tax on online transactions, and the general administration of taxation has not issued an online transaction management regulations.

"No matter what, the future is certainly to collect taxes, but how to collect, by WHO to collect, collect how much, is the problem, not a place can be solved." Hu Gang that it would be difficult to impose taxes on e-commerce transactions that occur on the Internet in accordance with existing tax laws and regulations. such as jurisdiction cognizance, tax subject definition, commodity origin determination, individual transaction behavior definition and so on.

Not only that, on the Internet transactions tax can not rely solely on the simple business registration, backstage on the registration channels, human, financial and other inputs are a huge system engineering, but the first thing to do is to register and master online traders personal information.

The Beijing model's request for Internet operators to license a licence may be the first step towards taxing the future. However, once the tax process is initiated, it may also be a small impact on the personal shop, and some small shops may face the possibility of exiting the Consumer-to-consumer market.
