In another 30 days, the e-commerce tax payment window opened by local tax bureaus will be closed!

Just less than a week ago, the Beijing Branch of State Taxation Administration of The People's Republic of China issued a special notice, which was mainly addressed to two types of taxpayers: one is "respected star artists" and the other is "network anchors", reminding them to pay taxes quickly if they evade taxes!

Previously, there has never been a notice specially delivered to the network anchor on tax payment. Network anchors, your treatment has been upgraded!

What does this mean? The problem of tax evasion by network anchors has attracted the attention of relevant tax authorities!

The Beijing Taxation Bureau also explained the cause and effect of the latest notice: three months ago, State Taxation Administration of The People's Republic of China issued a notice urging taxpayers such as stars and network anchors to take the initiative to contact the tax authorities for self-examination and tax payment; However, until now, there are still some people who are lucky enough to fail to check and pay taxes in time when the notice was issued next month.

What should I do if I fail to pay the tax on time? The circular made it very clear that: before the end of 20021,the tax authorities will take the initiative to report and correct tax-related problems, and the tax authorities will give a lighter, mitigated or exempted tax punishment according to the requirements of the circular;

For those who still refuse to self-examine and correct themselves or whose self-examination and self-correction are not thorough, the tax authorities will deal with them seriously according to the law!

Recently, several head anchors have been fined for taxes, which in itself has released a strong signal: no matter how you transfer assets through affiliated companies, you have to make false accounts to cope with inspections, and the tax authorities have long understood the detailed transactions of e-commerce live broadcasts and even the forces behind affiliated companies!

As a head anchor, with a turnover of tens of billions a year and a profit of more than 10 billion a year, why not pay taxes properly? I'm sorry, you can see the consequences: after the announcement of tax evasion was issued, the platform-wide accounts of some head anchors were immediately banned, and the re-employment was far away, and the bright future was destroyed.

There is a poem in A Dream of Red Mansions: "Because the gauze cap is too small, it locks the cangue bar;" Yesterday, I pity the cold coat, but now I think the purple python is long. "Is this the case?

As an experienced person who has experienced the banquet from a high-rise building to a collapsed building, Cao Xueqin has already summed up the lessons for us, but some people just don't learn them well!

Cross-border e-commerce tax investigation is in progress

It is an irreversible trend for the whole industry and multi-level e-commerce to pay taxes.

At present, many people pay more attention to the field of live broadcast, especially the head anchor tax payment. This shows that many people are dissatisfied with the current industry situation of "making up for the lack of damage".

But in fact, the scope of this tax investigation is not limited to the head anchor, but the entire e-commerce industry, including waist anchors, e-commerce experts, and cross-border e-commerce sellers.

Take cross-border e-commerce, a few days ago, a well-known cross-border e-commerce company in Hangzhou was anonymously reported for tax evasion. After careful investigation, Hangzhou Taxation Bureau found that the company did evade taxes. At present, it has been fined millions of yuan. With the in-depth investigation of the case, it is not ruled out that more economic crimes will be discovered in the later period, and more tax evasion fines will be recovered from the company.

According to the report of China Tax News, the main means of tax evasion of this enterprise is to make false accounts, that is, a set of internal account books and a set of external account books.

Tax evasion through yin and yang accounts is also the main means for many cross-border e-commerce companies to evade taxes. Simply put, the external account books are false accounts, and the internal account books are real accounts.

The difference is that the external ledger is very "flexible" in data presentation. For example, transactions involving related taxes will be deliberately lowered in order to achieve the purpose of zero declaration or low declaration; The figures related to export tax rebates, government subsidies and high-tech company concessions will be raised accordingly. This is a typical practice of eating at both ends and eating at both ends.

More investigations have found that some cross-border e-commerce companies choose to transfer money directly from person to person through third-party payment platforms in order to evade taxes. After hiding these related expenses, they tell the tax authorities more truly that "I don't earn much"!

In the case of Hangzhou above, there was an incredible scene in the process of investigation and evidence collection: in order to deal with the tax officials who suddenly came to search for evidence, the company actually tried to obstruct the inspection by means of power failure, but obviously, these tricks were useless to the tax authorities who were used to all kinds of scenes. The tax authorities quickly seized the powerful evidence of tax evasion through a left-over USB flash drive.

More cross-border e-commerce companies have been "prosecuted" by foreign tax authorities for tax evasion, and they have really been "humiliated internationally"!

After earning so much, you still evade taxes? Don't even think about it!

Before May of this year, the domestic cross-border e-commerce industry was the most profitable of all industries, no one!

Many individual entrepreneurs who seize the opportunity have seized new business opportunities through clear product positioning and accurate market strategy, and through the inexhaustible treasure of cross-border e-commerce.

Not to mention the "Three Masters of Amazon" and "Five Tigers of Sakata" who started with billions of dollars in revenue a year. In those years, these companies only paid hundreds of millions of year-end awards, and there were many companies that made luxury cars!

But after earning so much in a year, some enterprises still don't pay taxes properly!

In March of this year, a company owned by a large cross-border e-commerce seller was recovered by the French Taxation Bureau for nearly 3 million yuan in tax revenue for four years, and was fined over 2 million euros for late payment, totaling about 5 million euros.

Before this company, domestic cross-border e-commerce companies have been "recruited".

As early as August, 20 19, the Italian government explicitly asked sellers of cross-border e-commerce platforms to provide real sales data as the basis for tax returns. Once someone was found to have made false accounts and transferred the company's assets by not taking public accounts, it would be severely cracked down.

In June, 2020, Japan's Nagoya Taxation Bureau conducted an investigation on nine Japanese companies with China background, and found that these companies evaded taxes by about 1 100 million yen in a year.

In this case, I have to admire how creative China people are in order to evade taxes: the company is opened in Japan, and the legal representative is also Japanese, which seems to be paying taxes in compliance with local tax policies; However, the survey found that the actual controllers of these companies are all from China, and their products are also purchased from China. However, they took advantage of the Chinese people's blind trust in Japanese goods and sold China goods at high prices to China people under the banner of "Made in Japan"!

However, once such a god operation is verified to have tax evasion, in addition to paying a high fine, the more serious consequence is that the reputation of the merchants will soon be lost, and it is already more difficult for these sellers to make a comeback!

This is not an alarmist. From the trend point of view, in the future, Europe and the United States and other countries will "light up" some sellers who deliberately evade taxes, that is, clearly mark the existence of tax evasion in this enterprise; To make matters worse, many buyers can see the "lit" information before shopping, which is equivalent to telling the majority of buyers that this enterprise is dishonest in its operation, and I suggest you not to buy things here!

From the domestic point of view,

With the exchange of data between the e-commerce platform and local tax authorities, any tiny data anomaly can be traced back to the motivation behind it, and any hidden advanced operation can find clues. So, you still evade taxes after making so much money? Don't even think about it!

In the last 30 days, the window for e-commerce to pay taxes will be closed, and it is early to pay taxes!
