Cross Border Electricity Supplier Import Tax Policy Will Expand Or Surpass The Whole Country.

Following the expansion of the cross-border electricity supplier comprehensive test area, the cross-border electricity supplier import will usher in the national key support policy. Recently, it was learned from authoritative channels that the cross-border electricity supplier import tax policy implemented in China's cross border electricity supplier import pilot cities will be pushed to the whole country. The relevant departments have reached an agreement, and the specific policy is expected to land in the first half of the year.

According to the economic reference daily January 15th, including the Ministry of finance, Ministry of Commerce, customs and other departments, the adjustment of cross-border electricity supplier import tax policy has been in the early stages of deliberation. At present, various departments have reached agreement. The relevant programmes have been heard: first, increase the support for cross-border electricity providers, push the tax policy of the pilot cities to the whole country, and implement a unified tax policy across the country; two, increase the three to 50% tax rate based on the current postal tax rate, which is different from the current postal tax, and is different from the general trade tax. The level of tax rate is between two. This can not only reduce the difference, but also encourage the traditional import enterprises to pform to the electricity supplier, thus promoting the cross-border electricity supplier.

It is understood that China's cross-border electricity retail imports (that is, B2C) is mainly divided into direct purchase, direct mail import and bonded imports, while bonded imports can only be implemented in 8 pilot cities such as Shanghai. Meanwhile, the import tax of the pilot cities is applicable to the mode of postal tax.

Bonded imports refer to the practice of cross-border electric business importers to build warehouses in the bonded area. First, they import goods into domestic bonded warehouses by means of general trade, and determine buyers through the electronic business platform. After the domestic consumers order, businesses send small package goods directly from bonded warehouses, which greatly saves costs and time, and is also more convenient for consumers.

According to the types of imported goods, customs offices currently collect 10%, 20%, 30% and 50% postal tax respectively.

Zhang Bin, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Financial Strategy Research Institute, said

The biggest difference between tax and general trade import is that the general trade import should pay import value-added tax and customs duties, of which the import value-added tax is 17%, while customs duty applies to different commodities according to customs tariff.

The two tax is packaged together by mail tax. The postal tax of most goods is 10%, the tax burden is much lower than the general trade, and when the tax amount is less than 50 yuan, the customs is exempted from the relevant taxes and fees.

In addition, it is understood that many places have begun to layout.

They have built bonded warehouses, but because of their lack of qualifications, many projects have been stagnant.

"If a unified and stable tax policy is formed in the whole country, import tax can be stabilized, whether from pilot cities or non pilot cities, and local governments and enterprises can also safely layout the development of cross-border electricity providers."

Zhang Li said.

Relevant personages pointed out that the two main contents of the pilot were customs clearance and bonded import.

At present, some negative problems appear in the pilot: first, the competition is unfair. There is too much difference between the experimental area and the non pilot area, resulting in regional competition.

The problem is becoming increasingly prominent.

In addition, the current postal tax will not only cause unfair tax burden between cross-border electricity providers and general trade, but also affect the domestic enterprises because of the different tax burden of imported goods and domestic products, resulting in unfair trade.

Two, the collection mode of postal tax has led to the loss of large amounts of tax revenue.

A shares and Sinop development, small commodity city, cross-border border and other listed companies, involving cross-border e-commerce related businesses.

Zhang Li, deputy director of the E-commerce Research Department of the Ministry of Commerce, said that there is no clear tax collection policy for cross-border electricity suppliers.

The post tax is, after all, just a "trial product" or "Interim pitional product".

Cross border electricity supplier import tax policy to the whole country, reducing the differential treatment among all regions, forming a fair competition environment, it should be said that it is an inevitable trend.

She said that if a unified national tax collection and management mode for cross-border electricity suppliers was formed, then the cities with customs special supervision zones or bonded zones could adopt the mode of bonded imports, thus expanding coverage.

"Bonded import pilot has limitations after all, and the 8 pilot areas in logistics, inspection and quarantine and other aspects of the load has been larger."

In addition, there are large demand for imports in some places, especially for daily necessities, but without pilot qualification, some can only be imported from the pilot area and then pferred into the market, pushing up the series of logistics and other costs.

Therefore, the national push is conducive to the full exploitation of consumption potential and cost reduction.
