In some big cities, the tax authorities are short of manpower, and there are also cases where the work is not serious and careful. It may also be because the contact information of the operators has changed and they cannot contact the operators, which makes it impossible to stop the operators from handling relevant tax registration procedures.

However, in big cities, even if some small self-employed people don't register for tax, they don't have so much manpower and material resources to punish them. But in some small places, management will be stricter. However, under normal circumstances, the tax authorities should be too lazy to impose fines. After all, their main task is to collect taxes, not to impose fines.

Personally, I suggest you ask the tax department yourself what the situation is.

According to Article 15 of the Law on the Administration of Tax Collection (/view/277478.htm), "Enterprises, branches established by enterprises in other places and places engaged in production and business operations, individual industrial and commercial households and institutions engaged in production and business operations (hereinafter referred to as taxpayers engaged in production and business operations) shall, within 30 days from the date of obtaining their business licenses, report to the tax authorities for tax registration with relevant documents. The tax authorities shall examine and issue tax registration certificates within 30 days from the date of receiving the declaration.

The administrative department for industry and commerce shall regularly notify the tax authorities of the registration and issuance of business licenses. "

If you don't go through the Tax Registration Certificate on time. According to the provisions of Article 60 of the Law on the Administration of Tax Collection, "If a taxpayer commits one of the following acts, the tax authorities shall order it to make corrections within a time limit and may impose a fine of less than 2,000 yuan; If the circumstances are serious, a fine of not less than 2,000 yuan but not more than 10,000 yuan shall be imposed: ... If the taxpayer fails to apply for tax registration, the tax authorities shall order it to make corrections within a time limit; If no correction is made within the time limit, the business license shall be revoked by the administrative department for industry and commerce upon the request of the tax authorities. …… ”
