The popularization and implementation of electronic invoices will bring a severe test to the price advantage that the online shopping market has always relied on. Many businesses will impose the cost of electronic invoices on consumers, which will eventually lead to higher product prices. Some regular e-commerce companies can issue paper invoices, such as JD.COM Mall, Dangdang and Tmall Mall. Although the prices of these products are slightly higher than those of Taobao platform, they give consumers a sense of standardization and more peace of mind.
Taobao platform is C2C (person-to-person) mode, because most C2C businesses are not registered in the industrial and commercial departments, so there are obstacles in issuing invoices. But because of this, C2C mode is much less in tax cost than B2C mode, and the price of products is naturally lower.
