In 2016, China Will Fully Implement Electronic Invoices To Levy Taxes For Electricity Providers And Remove Technical Barriers.

At present, the main trading modes of China's electricity suppliers are B2B, B2C and C2C three.

C2C has few tax payers because of its low entry threshold and no tax registration.

However, since most C2C businesses are small and small businesses, experts suggest that taxation on the main body of the electricity market should be appropriate, and tax incentives should be implemented to encourage entrepreneurship and protect the development of SMEs.

Reporters learned from authoritative channels that China will implement all invoices' networked operation in 2016.

Electronic ledger, real-time collection, storage, inspection and comparison of invoice full element information.

Experts said that adopting the above measures to fully implement electronic invoices will significantly improve the collection and management capacity, and will also remove taxes for electricity suppliers.

In fact, our country does not have any legal policy that e-commerce can be exempt from tax liability.

However, due to many complex factors, such as the realistic conditions of collection and management, a large number of small and micro businesses are separated from the framework of tax collection and management.

At the present stage, strict enforcement of tax measures will be detrimental to the development of the industry and individual entrepreneurship.

Therefore,

It has also become a sensitive topic.

According to the National Bureau of statistics, the total retail sales volume of the whole country in 2014 was 279 million yuan, an increase of 49.7% over the previous year.

It accounts for 10.6% of the total retail sales of consumer goods in China in 2014, 2 billion 624 million yuan.

At present, the main trading modes of China's electricity suppliers are B2B, B2C and C2C three.

Many retail enterprises under the line have been effectively supervised by the tax authorities. Online B2B or B2C enterprises are more regulated in pactions. They all pay taxes by invoicing. However, because C2C is low in entry threshold and no tax registration is required, anyone can become a trading subject and few taxpayers.

Some experts said: "electricity tax is actually a false proposition, only a matter of time."

Zhang Bin, director of the Tax Research Office of the financial and Strategic Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told reporters: "the key point of tax collection for electricity suppliers should be C2C. According to the data of the about 7000000 Taobao active merchants in the previous two years, it is possible to collect taxes for C2C at least 5 billion yuan a year.

At present, Taobao has more than about 11000000 active merchants, and the tax scale should be larger. "

Many experts believe that the electronic invoice has the advantages of low cost, data integrity, convenience for authenticity inquiry, and tax collection and management. It will not improve the operation cost of the merchants, and can also check the turnover very well.

Businesses sell a product, all the data are sent back to the tax authorities. After the electronic invoice is issued, the IRS system can receive information and achieve full real-time supervision.

Li Wanfu, director of the Taxation Research Institute of the State Administration of Taxation, said that there is a correlation between invoices and ledger accounts, reflecting the actual income of enterprises.

The implementation of invoice electronic accounts, collection, collation and analysis of information, is conducive to risk management, tax assessment.

"There is no direct causal connection between electronic invoices and electricity supplier taxation, but it must clear the technical problems and remove some obstacles for the taxation of electricity suppliers."

Li Wanfu said.

Cai Lei, vice president, said in an interview with reporters that if all the data obtained are in the electronic accounting warehouse of the Inland Revenue Department, the whole information management tax will be realized, which is of great significance for creating a healthy and fair tax environment.

"Traditional tax administration in China has many difficulties in the collection and management of e-commerce, and the current collection and management power is hard to adapt to e-commerce pactions of several trillion yuan a year.

Electronic invoices are the best information management Tax drivers. If we fully implement electronic invoices, it is necessary to generate electronic invoices automatically, so that we can solve the problem of collection and management well.

He said.

In response to this problem, Alibaba said that electronic invoices have great advantages in reducing the cost of invoicing, courier costs and improving consumer experience.

Ali is also actively participating in the electronic invoice business. From the technical platform, effective technology solutions are being put into operation to help businesses who need to use electronic invoices to solve the technology access.

Ali will establish a set of standard interface, business ERP system only needs to dock with ALI, and the back end docking a number of third party electronic invoice service platform to help enterprises, especially the e-commerce type ERP to reduce the multi docking and maintenance costs.

Ali will also actively respond to and comply with relevant state tax policies and regulations.

A personal Taobao seller said that if no increase in operating costs, will support the use of electronic invoices.

There are also Taobao women's clothing store operators told reporters that the competition in women's clothing industry is fierce, and users' requirements for product quality are also getting higher and higher, so more and more users will ask for formal invoices when shopping.

At present, the paper invoices have been provided to users, so the adoption of electronic invoices will not affect the current operation.

However, since most C2C businesses are small and small businesses, experts suggest that taxation on the main business market should be appropriate, and tax incentives should be implemented to encourage entrepreneurship and protect the development of SMEs.

Zhang Bin told reporters: "if the tax authorities should make use of electronic invoices to raise the efficiency of tax collection and administration, I think the premise is to substantially reduce the tax burden."

He suggested that, first of all, with the promotion of the tax administration law, a tax registration system for natural persons should be established.

In addition, the premise of strengthening the collection and management is to substantially raise the threshold of value added tax and business tax, so that most of the natural person merchants will be exempt from tax declaration obligations and substantially reduce the tax burden.
