US Retailers Appealed To Congress To Levy Special Taxes On Alibaba

Many families

Large retailers warned last weekend that unless the US Congress fills the tax loopholes of online retailers, the Alibaba group may "slaughter" local businesses.

Although Alibaba has yet to expand its tentacles in the US, it shows the company's

American businesses have begun to worry.

Alliance for Main Street Fairness appealed to Congress in the TV and radio advertisements last weekend.

Special tax is levied with other Internet giants.

Its members include best buy, Taghit, JC Penney and other large chain retailers.

"Commercial street will never be the same again."

The alliance said.

This advertisement is the biggest open marketing offensive that Alibaba has suffered, and its turnover exceeds the sum of Amazon and eBay.

But it is worth noting that although Alibaba completed the largest IPO in September this year, its reputation in the US is not high enough.

US retailers and analysts expect that Alibaba will soon launch services to American consumers with the huge amount of money raised by IPO.

However, the company has said that they will still focus on the Chinese market, and most of its revenue is still from China.

Alibaba said increased cash and network penetration would ensure that its domestic market remained the main driver of growth in the next few years.

Alibaba is now selling goods to American consumers worldwide.

But the company's Taobao network has not yet been opened to American consumers through English.

A Alibaba spokeswoman has not yet commented.

As of press release, the US online shopping Monday is still in full swing.

IBM, which has been tracking American retail data for many years, released online shopping statistics at three p.m. Eastern time on Monday, allegedly increasing by 8.7%.

However, as we all know, after work in the evening, office workers will be crazy online shopping at home, so the data will still change.

As a comparison, last year's online shopping Monday, IBM statistics to the year-on-year online shopping scale increased by 20.6%.

The weekend after Thanksgiving (including black Friday) is the beginning of the Christmas shopping peak in the United States, and online shopping Monday is just a small stop. The American office workers who end the Thanksgiving weekend will sweep the goods again in their units and at home.

The two big brands, Gap and BananaRepublic, announced forty percent off of all goods.

In addition, WAL-MART has also arranged the "evening edition" promotion, such as Motorola's cheap mobile phone MotoE, which sold at an astonishing $9.99 (from the US mobile operator StraightTalk), which is ten percent off higher than the average day of $99.
