Huang Wenjie, executive director of Guangdong Circulation Industry Association, believes that taxation of electricity suppliers can only create a fair market environment, which is conducive to the healthy development of the domestic retail industry.

"But there will be no significant change in the online and offline retail structure."

Huang Wenjie said: "the advantage of online is not only cheap, but also convenient, and the advantage of offline is shopping experience.

Therefore, even if the electricity providers pay taxes, offline entities still need to continue to exert their strength in terms of service and experience as well as O2O, in order to remain invincible.

Since April, Beijing, Guangxi, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Shandong,

The tax departments of major coastal provinces and cities have interviewed business enterprises in their respective jurisdictions one after another.

Among them, the Guangxi Guilin City Tax Bureau launched a special tax inspection, e-commerce as a previous inspection has never been included in the industry for the first time.

At the same time, Shanghai Minhang District land tax bureau has also issued a registration for the electricity supplier enterprises.

Notice of self-examination.

"The name of tax offices in various places is tax risk management and tax assessment."

Related tax officials said.

However, the famous economic commentator Ye Tan pointed out that taxation on electricity suppliers is the general trend.

There is only one problem now. When will the boot fall?

People's Republic of China

The revised draft law on collection management (Draft) has increased the content of paying taxes on online pactions in various chapters.

According to the draft, it is necessary to use taxpayer identification number when taxpayers sign contracts, agreements, pay social insurance premiums, real estate registration and other tax related matters.

That is to say, paying taxes is not only a large business, but also a natural person, which means that shop owners will also manage according to natural person taxpayers.

It is reported that China's first "e-commerce law" is expected to come out in the second half of the year, e-commerce enterprises in North China, East China and other regions to implement electronic invoices, tax identification number system will be introduced.

Electricity providers generally have three modes: B2B, B2C and C2C.

The former two enterprises are the clearing units. When the enterprises are registered, they have already completed the tax process. They are all under the supervision of the tax department. They can issue invoices to enterprises or individuals.

The main controversy is the C2C model.

As early as in April 27th, in response to the news that "Tmall shopkeepers are being interviewed to pay taxes", Tmall clarified that the merchants who entered Tmall would sign relevant agreements, and the agreement explicitly demanded that businessmen should pay taxes in good faith and offer invoices to users voluntarily.

Ye Tan believes that the tax on electricity providers will not trigger a flee tide.
