The "Electricity Business Law" Has Been Implemented For Nearly Two Months.

In January 2nd, the NPC deputies and Qian Yuan market supervision sub Bureau of Qian Yuan Town People's Congress of Deqing County, Zhejiang Province, propagate the "e-commerce law of the People's Republic of China" implemented in January 1st to the rural Taobao shops and other business operators.

With the acceleration of the process of commodity globalization, the demand of Chinese consumers for imported goods is increasing. Apart from the regular sales channels, a group of people who rely on manpower to carry goods and distribute through the Internet have been active.

For a long time, active purchasing agents on social software have not been included in the scope of market supervision, and there are hidden dangers in consumer rights protection and tax administration.

What new changes have been brought to consumers and purchasing groups in the past two months since the implementation of the electricity business law?

Great impact on New Deal implementation

According to the report released by the China Internet Association's micro business group, in 2017, the scale of China's micro business market reached 683 billion 580 million yuan, and the number of practitioners reached 20 million 188 thousand.

For a long time, such a large group of employees has not been included in the market supervision category. Most purchasing agents did not declare customs duties when entering the customs, nor did they declare personal income tax after the paction.

In 2018, the opinions issued by the State Administration of market supervision on the registration of e-commerce operators pointed out that Internet traders, including micro dealers, should handle the registration of market participants in accordance with the law.

The first electricity business law, which was put into effect in January 1st this year, has clearly defined the related issues. It requires that natural persons, legal persons and non legal person organizations engaged in the sale of commodities or services provided by the Internet and other information networks should register and pay taxes according to law according to law.

Since then, overseas purchasing agents, as e-commerce operators, need to register and pay taxes according to regulations.

After the promulgation of the electricity business law in August 31, 2018, it has a certain impact on purchasing agents and micro businesses.

There is a purchasing agency that, with the compression of profit margins, the future of this industry is not optimistic, and some overseas shopping centres also have a downward trend in profits.

Sasa International announced that as of the end of December 2018, the sales volume of the third quarter of the current fiscal year dropped by 2.2% over the same period of last year, of which the retail and wholesale business turnover in Hong Kong and Macao fell by 2.8% compared with the same period last year.

Buying circles to reshuffle

After the implementation of the new deal, the buying and selling circles have a big reshuffle: some of them are refurbished and pformed into "soul painter". They circumvent their identities by hand painted products and voice communication. Some wait and see attitude, expect to provide more detailed details. Some are dejected, unwilling to violate the law for the sake of no longer lucrative profits. Some think that the spring of purchasing is coming, and they look forward to "washing the white" status and strive for a more fair market environment.

Some buyers said that as the "electricity business law" is becoming more and more perfect, more and more cases will be examined and paid in full.

The price of goods after paying taxes is almost equal to the price of domestic counters. If the risk of legal bottom line is possible, the compression of profit space will have a greater impact on itself, and it may change in the future.

Other purchasing agencies hold a positive attitude and believe that the implementation of the new deal is good for themselves.

Once registration is available, it will help to standardize and legalize the purchasing industry, and create a fair atmosphere of competition within the industry.

At the same time, for consumers, licensed business is conducive to the improvement of the business environment, so as to better obtain consumer trust and facilitate the long-term interests of professional purchasing.

Taobao shopkeepers said that although the landing of the "electricity business law" will make the purchasing industry reshuffle, some individual purchasing agents are gradually leaving the field, but they also provide opportunities for the pformation and development of purchasing agents with a certain scale.

A number of powerful purchasing agents can pform the small and micro enterprises engaged in cross-border electricity suppliers with a broader prospect.

What he expected more is the normative role of the new deal in the whole purchasing industry.

The benefits of purchasing are more

In addition to the legal registration of practitioners, the electricity business law stipulates that individual purchasing agents should fulfill their duty of paying taxes according to law, and purchase vouchers and invoices for their purchasing commodities. The offenders may face a penalty of up to 2 million yuan.

It can be seen that with the improvement of the access threshold of purchasing industry, the activity of purchasing agents on all network platforms has declined significantly.

Then, what options will there be for individuals who purchase overseas?

According to the insiders, for large scale purchasing, due to the rich experience and strong customer resources, we can consider registering as an electronic business platform or self operated platform, and continue to integrate operation. For medium sized purchasing agents, we should consider linking up large platforms, focusing on front-end flow and customer services, earning the corresponding shopping guide service fees, and providing product supply chain by the platform side. At present, some overseas purchasing platforms are constantly attracting small and medium-sized purchasing teams; for some weaker small purchasing agents, they can continue to be free individual households after completing the business registration, or become a member of large platforms.

For the whole purchasing industry, there are at least three advantages in the implementation of the New Deal: first, the normalization of the purchasing market is conducive to protecting the vital interests of consumers.

Purchasing registration has provided the basis for consumer rights protection by bringing the main body of the business into the scope of supervision, and the cost of selling counterfeit goods and other infringements is even higher. Second, for the purchasing agents themselves, the legitimate taxpayers will be protected by law. Third, as the industry shuffle, the growth of new industries will be nurtured.

The overall supply chain cost and logistics efficiency will become one of the core elements of market competitiveness. The procurement cost and logistics cost advantage of direct supply, scale purchase, bulk logistics and bonded stocking will be fully reflected.

It is foreseeable that a new platform or supply chain with unlimited supply of one-stop supply chain services will be available.

The electricity business law will promote the purchasing industry to enter the shuffling period from the "barbaric" growth period, and point out the direction for the standardization and healthy development of the industry.
