Shop 5% business tax rumors hit Taobao sellers a year or pay tax 40billion
mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings
on May 30, the industry heard the news that stores in the electric industry chain will be subject to a 5% business tax, which is like dropping an atomic bomb in the electric business community
a few days ago, the daily economy successively sought confirmation on this matter from liuhongliang, director of the marketing department of the State Administration for Industry and commerce, Jia Kang, director of the Institute of financial Sciences of the Ministry of finance, Liu Shangxi, deputy director of the Institute of financial Sciences of the Ministry of Finance, who set up a balance valve on the oil return road, and others, but perhaps based on the sensitivity of the topic itself, the above-mentioned people basically responded unwittingly
if the rumors are true, the C2C system in Alibaba ecosystem may become a key tax area
it is unlikely that the tax will be levied within this year.
during the two sessions this year, Zhang Jindong, chairman of Suning yunshang, and Wang Tian, chairman of Hunan Bubugao commercial chain, called for a tax on store transactions
Zhang Jindong explained that due to the rapid development of e-commerce, the corresponding supporting measures failed to keep up, which directly led to about half of the annual trading volume being outside the law. At the same time, the emergence of non registered operations, non tax sales, and the flooding of counterfeit products in the e-commerce industry has brought an unfair competitive environment to the industry, which is not conducive to the healthy and sustainable development of the industry. It is suggested that industry and commerce, quality inspection and other relevant departments should strengthen the management of product quality supervision, intellectual property protection, reasonable taxation and so on
for a time, the topic of store taxation triggered several verbal battles in the e-commerce industry and even the society
according to a source quoted by relevant media, the taxation of domestic stores is now in the countdown. Relevant ministries and commissions have begun to discuss specific tax collection measures, and it is possible to formally levy a 5% business tax on stores within the year
previously, the media disclosed that at a secret meeting held in Beijing in March this year, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Finance asked investment institutions with e-commerce investment experience for specific operation methods of tax collection
all kinds of signals seem to imply that the tax collection process of stores is unstoppable
recently, the daily economy has successively sought confirmation on this matter from liuhongliang, director of the marketing department of the State Administration for Industry and commerce, Jia Kang, director of the Financial Science Research Institute of the Ministry of finance, Liu Shangxi, deputy director of the Financial Science Research Institute of the Ministry of Finance, etc., but perhaps based on the sensitivity of the topic itself, the above-mentioned relevant people basically responded with ignorance
according to the analysis of this phenomenon, some insiders said that these people kept silent on this matter, which may be mainly for two reasons: first, the tax issue is still under discussion, and it is inappropriate to divulge information in advance before the government has announced this matter; Another reason may be that there are still different voices in the discussion of store taxation, and the specific related matters are still variable, so it is not convenient to comment
the network measures, which was officially implemented on April 1, was once considered to be a precursor to levying taxes on e-commerce
on April 15, the notice on further promoting the healthy and rapid development of e-commerce jointly issued by 13 departments including the national development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of finance also mentioned e-commerce taxation again
Li Chengdong, an independent analyst in the e-commerce industry, said that the tax collection of stores has become an irresistible trend, and the difference is only a little earlier or later
6.1 percentage points higher than the above designated industries in the city
however, Li Chengdong pointed out that it is estimated that the state will not implement relevant policies within the year, because it still needs to carry out a period of investigation and research, listen to social opinions, and also need to pilot, feedback and other processes, which will be fully promoted after the experiment is mature
an insider engaged in work related to the tax industry on the Internet told the daily economy that if the state really levies taxes on stores, it may establish a special network tax monitoring center to connect the comprehensive tax collection and management system and the internal ********* system with the network trading platform. By obtaining the real transaction data of the store operator, it can realize that every transaction can be well documented, so as to collect all the taxes receivable
will be significantly beneficial to B2C stations
at present, among China's e-commerce stations, mainstream B2C stations such as tmall and jd.com are normal tax payment platforms. The e-commerce tax mentioned at present mainly targets the group represented by a large number of small and medium-sized C2C sellers on Taobao
in this regard, there are two different views in the industry, which are mainly based on their own interests
the group with offline traditional retail sellers as its main business basically agrees with the tax matters of stores, such as Suning, etc. E-commerce companies, mainly online e-commerce companies, hold reservations or disagree with this move
another view is that it is a little too urgent to tax stores now. At present, we should release water to raise fish, and then tax most small and medium-sized stores after they have a certain risk resistance. In addition, some people oppose taxing stores from the perspective of social employment. According to this view, a large number of stores have solved the employment of a considerable number of people. Under the background of the current poor employment situation in China, taxing stores may lead to the closure of many stores, thereby reducing the digestibility of this field to social employment
proponents believe that if only entities are taxed for a long time, but not stores, it may eventually lead to the collapse of a large number of physical stores
if the tax matters are implemented, Taobao, the leader in China's C2C field, may become a key area
according to the data, in 2012, the transaction volume of Taobao and tmall exceeded trillion, of which the transaction volume of tmall was about 200billion yuan, and it is conservatively estimated that the transaction volume of Taobao was about 800billion yuan. If you do not calculate the amount of tax reduction and exemption, and roughly calculate the tax at the amount of 5%, Taobao merchants will increase the tax cost by nearly 40billion yuan a year
the above insiders engaged in work related to the tax industry pointed out that if the state levies on stores, it will bring certain business risks to Taobao and small and medium-sized sellers. First of all, some stores with irregular supply channels have to issue relevant invoices if they want to levy taxes, which is difficult for some shopkeepers to do; In addition, it is not clear at present whether the tax on stores will be traced back to the time when the first order was generated. If so, many stores will not earn enough money to pay taxes. Once this policy is implemented, it will be obviously beneficial to B2C stations such as Suning
