Businessmen change their names and ask for money.

Dare not say "No" seven departments jointly manage

How can illegal fees be "still"

Since May, the municipal government's rectification office, business administration office, Price Bureau, Public Security Bureau, State Taxation Bureau, Local Taxation Bureau, industry and Commerce Bureau and other departments have jointly carried out the rectification and rectification of large retail enterprises' illegal charging work to suppliers in the city. Up to now, the work of cleaning up and correcting the illegal charging of large retail enterprises to suppliers has achieved substantial results.

Suppliers dare not say "no" related departments to investigate and deal with difficulties

Reporters learned from the municipal business management office, through a period of time to carry out joint inspection at the municipal level, Jiujiang in line with the rectification conditions of the 6 retail enterprises are able to consciously carry out self-examination and self correction according to the relevant work requirements.

From a number of contracts and accounts provided by retailers, it is impossible to verify hidden charges.

This newspaper recently received some suppliers' reflection, after renovation.

Some fees have been abolished according to the regulations, but the retailer's fees are still "one after another", and the total is still undiminished.

"Supermarkets can change nominal fees, reduce those and increase those, and the whole is the same."

Mr. Zhu, a brand supplier, reluctantly said, "I want to complain to the relevant departments, but after they charge some items, they don't even give me the bills.

It is reported that many stores charge suppliers, but will not invoice, some stores will open a receipt, but most of the time can not check the details.

In addition to the normal payment in the contract, we must pay the bar code, replenishment fee, shop Festival fee, shopping guide fee and so on. If we do not pay, we will not be able to pay the bill.

Some suppliers said that some supermarkets had opened up the fees on their invoices to the "promotion service fees", so that the details of suppliers' fees could not be verified.

The head of the business management office also admitted: "the supplier may be afraid of telling the truth and offend the retailer, so we dare not report the real situation if we dare not tell the truth.

But retailers seem to have a hard time. According to a senior sales practitioner, some stores will lose money every month when they operate, but in the background, the background returns - charging suppliers and becoming retailers' lifesaving straws.

Admission fee, festival fee and bar code fee should be turned over to tens of thousands of yuan.

Recently, a supplier calculated to reporters that he had to pay up to a supermarket every year, a single product into the store, the cost of a year should be at least 2~3 million yuan.

Entry fee: only the first threshold of the supplier. The supplier calls it "account opening fee", at least 3000~5000 yuan, and this fee is paid to obtain the sales qualification of the goods in the supermarket.

Festival expenses: every time a large supermarket celebrates a festival or a festival, it also has to charge a supplier for the festival. The minimum cost is 2000 yuan.

In terms of 7 activity days per year, the cost is 14000 yuan.

In addition, there is a contract renewal fee of 5000 yuan, the new store opening sponsorship fee of 2000 yuan, the supermarket recently called, said he would like to help him ask the guide, a guide buyer paid 300~400 yuan per month, a year to spend thousands of yuan.

In addition, the mall has to pay about 20% points at the front desk. It also needs unconditional rebates at checkout, almost 15%, and its profit margin is only about 30%.

"With these costs, I can hardly make money in a year."

However, he said that because of the needs of the company's brand image, it is necessary to enter the sales of large supermarkets, and the supermarkets have more say in the negotiation process, so the money is "forced to hand in".

"You can't go in, and there are many brands waiting to come in," the supplier said helplessly.

When it comes to high fees in shopping malls, many suppliers have similar experiences.

A clothing company official revealed that a piece of clothing priced at 1000 yuan in the market could cost less than 200 yuan, but after entering the shopping mall, plus the high entry fees, barcode fees, shop fees and so on, the price went up.

Seven departments jointly regulate retail enterprises to self examine and correct themselves

According to this plan, retailers charge suppliers, including contract fees, handling fees, distribution fees, festival fees, shop fees, new shop opening fees, sales or checkout information inquiry fees, credit card fees, bar code fees (new product store fees), account opening fees (new suppliers entering store fees), unconditional rebates and so on, all of which are illegal fees.

The price department is responsible for strengthening market price supervision, regulating the operator's price behavior, investigating and prosecute all kinds of price violation and price monopoly according to law, taking the lead in cleaning up and rectifying the behavior of failing to stipulate the marked price in accordance with the regulations, and cleaning up the behavior of large retail enterprises taking advantage of the dominant position of the market in violation of their duties according to their duties.

The tax authorities conduct tax inspection on retailers suspected of tax violations and deal with them in accordance with the law.

The administrative departments for Industry and Commerce shall investigate and punish acts of unfair competition in commercial bribery and promotional activities according to law.

The public security organs are placed on file for investigation on suspicion of commercial bribery and other economic crimes.

Supervision (rectification) departments to strengthen the supervision of various functional departments and the overall rectification work.

"The burden of proof has always been a problem," he said.

An insider with more than 10 years of supplier qualifications told reporters that because of the poor confidentiality, suppliers will not survive in the market unless the supplier and retailer have no intention of cooperation.

It is understood that the relevant departments of the province will soon conduct a check on the remediation situation in Jiujiang. At present, the retail enterprises in our city are conducting self-examination and self correction, and write self-examination and self correction reports. After the renovation, the situation of "illegal fees" can be greatly improved.
