Shop Tax who pays

Probably from Alibaba last year's scenery listing, Ma Yun sits on China's richest man began, this year for the electric platform for the "axe" incoming, first open shop must have a physical store, followed by the latest tax opinion will be on the individual shop tax, has been exempt from system supervision free Consumer-to-consumer mode online shop also began to "on thin Ice" Days.

Should the shop be taxed?

Tax on online shops has been a contentious issue.

As we all know, most of China's real shops are burdened with higher rents, taxes and labor costs, and if they do not tax the shop, the competition is indeed unfair. In other words, it is because the real store tax burden is objectively achieved in China's huge online shopping market. As early as 2013, China's e-commerce turnover has surpassed the United States, the world's largest online retail market. China's e-commerce development so fast, and the government has been a lot of laissez-faire, tax will in some way curb the development of E-commerce.

If the tax is because the shop is a mixed bag, resulting in product authenticity difficult to distinguish, also not conducive to consumer rights, this reason a little far-fetched. Many times online shopping does have a gap with the kind, because there is no invoices and other vouchers, so business and consumer disputes are common. But at present, most of the goods are supported 7-day returns, to a certain extent, to protect the interests of consumers, and if they have been shoddy businesses can not survive for a long time.

In addition, the net shop to the employment diversion played a very big role. Open Shop low threshold, convenient procedures, by many people as a channel of employment, entrepreneurship, and even some people with disabilities have found a way to earn a living, premature taxation will hinder young people's employment and entrepreneurship.

Can not say that the tax a little benefit no, some Taobao shopkeeper's credit brush is very difficult, in this regard, conducive to the regulation of the industry norms.

Who pays the taxes?

The current bill is for annual sales of more than 360,000 yuan online tax, according to Alibaba released data, the current 95% of Taobao sellers turnover in 240,000 yuan below, on the surface, most of the shop is not in the range of tax. But because the personal shop generally does not give the consumer the invoice, the transaction bill enters the private account, cannot see the real data. If these gray income is transparent, the large department stores annual sales of more than 360,000. Really do Taobao know, big sellers make money, small sellers also many do not go on, looking at the high turnover, in fact, the benefits of meager. If annual sales are less than 360,000, then there is no need to open a shop. If you have money, you would have to open a physical store, or a large electric dealer.

The reason why shop is fire, one of the reason is because the price is cheap. According to the investigation, if the buyer to issue invoices, the general price will float 7%-12%. Consumer-to-consumer Shop and large electric and physical stores are also about the gap between the 10%, if the 10% are deprived of, because the tax caused by commodity prices, will weaken the market competitiveness of the shop, which will undoubtedly further affect the survival of the shop, small and medium-sized shop will face a shuffle.

Online things are actually tax-containing, after all, can not be their own home products, from raw materials, manufacturers, transportation and other processes in fact have been taxed. Shop tax to increase the operating costs, the future shop through disguised adjustments and other ways will be more than the cost of passing on to consumers, ultimately, or wool out of sheep. We have paid taxes on our wages, we have to go shopping and pay taxes again. In China's current tax system, more than 70% of the tax revenue from value-added tax, consumption tax and business tax and other circulation links. Therefore, the most urgent task of the tax department is not to tax the shop, but to reform the tax system, reduce the heavy tax in Chinese entity transactions.

How should the shop be taxed?

At present, there is at least a consensus on the taxation of E-commerce in the world, that is, "the principle of tax neutrality": first, as far as possible not to the taxpayer or the community to bring other additional losses or burdens; second, taxation should avoid interference in online trade. In particular, taxation cannot be a determinant of resource allocation beyond the market mechanism.

With the gradual maturation of China's e-commerce market, online shop tax is the general trend, and the technical operation is not difficult to solve. Can combine the domestic electronic commerce actual development situation, draw lessons from the foreign practice experience. The key to taxing online shops is to strike a balance between fair competition and rapid development. Shop should pay taxes, but is definitely not the entity store taxes. For personal sellers who shop for professional, should the relevant departments consider adopting certain subsidy and remission measures? On the one hand, we can strengthen supervision and guarantee consumers ' rights and interests, on the other hand, we can encourage those reputable and regular online shop to develop further, and to receive reasonable and favorable conditions. In general, we should classify and treat each other differently and not across.

E-commerce is mostly small micro-enterprises, should give a certain period of time to let it grow up, let it grow stronger, and then gradually enter the tax link, and the Maur-type value-added tax, consumer tariffs interfere with the electricity market, the market individual spontaneous trading becomes more difficult, suffocating the vitality of the entire market.
