< p > Liu Heng, vice president of Taxation School of Central Finance University, said that the implementation of the relevant methods of online invoices means that consumers can obtain shopping invoices from Internet businesses, which is conducive to guaranteeing the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.

In addition, the invoice management of network pactions is an important precursor to the taxation of e-commerce, and the state may accelerate the relevant tax pilot and policy.

In the past ten years, China's e-commerce retail trade has been developing rapidly with an average annual growth rate of more than 40%. In 2012, the total scale of pactions has reached 1 trillion and 200 billion yuan in 2012, occupying 7% of the total retail sales of the society.

The rapid development of the electricity supplier has caused a certain impact on the offline business.

< p > < strong > is currently investigating the electricity supplier tax / < /strong > < /p >.

< p > March 7th, the State Administration of Taxation promulgated the "Regulations on the management of network invoices" (hereinafter referred to as the "measures"), which will take effect from April 1st this year.

Network invoices refer to the ordinary invoices issued by the taxpayer through the Internet and the network invoices provided by the tax authorities.

< /p >

< p > "Regulations" stipulates that the tax authorities may, according to the provisions of the State Administration of Taxation, entrust other units to invoke network invoices through the network invoice management system in accordance with the requirements of the State Administration of taxation.

The tax authorities at or above the provincial level can try electronic invoices to ensure that the electronic information of the network invoice is correctly generated, stored reliably, verified and verified, and the security is unique.

< /p >

< p > according to the "measures", the units and individuals that issue invoices must issue online invoices online, and shall not make use of network invoices for lending, pferring, invoicing and other illegal activities.

< /p >

Song Lan, deputy director of the State Administration of Taxation, said in an interview that at present, the State Administration of taxation is investigating the taxation of e-commerce, which will be perfected from the system, not only to promote development, but also to develop healthfully, at the same time, it also needs to fulfill the duty of paying taxes.

< /p >

< p > as early as last year, the Ministry of Finance and other eight ministries and commissions have issued the notice on promoting the healthy and rapid development of e-commerce, and decided to carry out the pilot application of network (Electronic) invoices in 22 provinces and municipalities such as Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai.

With the release of the "measures" of the State Administration of Taxation, the speed of network invoice and electronic invoice has been accelerated nationwide.

< /p >

< p > Qing Branch Research Center predicts that the government's policy on e-commerce industry will become the general trend this year. If the relevant tax policies are implemented this year, the operation cost of online retailers will rise, the price of products will rise, and the market competitiveness of the entire industry will be affected.

The growth rate of China's online retail market will slow down to 40% to 50% in 2013.

< /p >

< p > < strong > analysis shows that there is no technical difficulty / < /strong > < /p >.

< p > for consumers, the price advantage is one of the most attractive factors compared to the traditional business of "a href=" http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp "online shopping" less than /a, which also causes the impact of e-commerce on offline business entities.

< /p >

Wang Tian, chairman of the National People's Congress and chairman of the BBK commercial chain Limited by Share Ltd, took the "electronic commerce tax collection and management law (Draft)" (a total of 36 articles) on March 2013. It was called the "36 item" of the private electricity supplier law, which was submitted to the National People's Congress in the form of motion. P

This has once again aroused heated discussion among all sectors of society about whether electricity providers should be taxed.

< /p >

< p > Wang Tian said that the electricity supplier's annual turnover of 5 trillion yuan accounted for 1/4 of the total retail sales of the whole society. No tax payment was unfair to the traditional retail enterprises, and the state would also lose 100 billion yuan of revenue for this purpose.

< /p >

< p > Zhang Jindong, chairman of Suning cloud business group Limited by Share Ltd, also said that < a href= "http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > e-commerce industry < /a > there are such problems as counterfeiting, tax evasion and non tax supervision, which restrict the sustained and healthy development of the industry. It is suggested that the tax collection department should study the way of Taxation of e-commerce and avoid tax evasion from the institutional level.

< /p >

< p > for this, Song Lan responded that there was no in-depth investigation of the tax evasion over 100 billion yuan, and the enterprise itself could not judge this matter. It is a bit blind to make such a conclusion.

"E-commerce is a difficult problem in our research. It is the paction of virtualization, and the monitoring difficulty is relatively large. At present, the management means are relatively backward."

< /p >

< p > at present, Jingdong mall, suning.com, Dangdang, Amazon China and most other independent marketing B2C network platforms have already had a sound tax system.

But many C2C sellers still do not carry out standardized operation, nor have they paid taxes.

In Ali group's e-commerce share of 1 trillion yuan this year, Tmall's contribution rate is only 20%, and the vast majority of pactions still come from Taobao's large number of individual sellers.

Taobao said that at present, 94% of Taobao's sales volume is less than 240 thousand yuan, while some of the better developed businesses have already started paying taxes online.

< /p >

< p > Zhang Bin, a researcher at the Institute of Finance and trade of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that at present, China's taxation of online shopping has not changed the framework of existing taxation. For online stores, the business tax, value-added tax and income tax should be paid in addition to less than the threshold and occasional pactions.

< /p >

< p > Li Chengdong, an analyst of the electricity supplier industry, said that the state does not levy any technical difficulties on the taxation of the electricity supplier industry. It is only a matter of time.

"Once the country begins to levy taxes on the electricity supplier industry, it will surely have a certain impact on the sellers of Taobao and Tmall. On the one hand, the seller should shift the cost of Taxation to consumers and reduce their competitiveness. At the same time, it will inevitably strike a blow to the category of electricity suppliers such as 3C and cosmetics."

< /p >

< p > Liu Heng analysis points out that the state levies taxes on electric business, or will adopt the strategy of first pilot and gradual expansion.

"First of all, it is essential to standardize the network invoices. Secondly, for some online shops with a certain scale, they may be asked to register for business, taxation and online banking, so as to improve the commercial status of these websites.

If it is fast, this series of processes may be completed in 3 years.

< /p >

< p > for this, many consumers feel anxious, worry that the cost of online shopping tax will be passed on to themselves, and some shop owners say that the pressure of survival will increase.
