What will be the impact of the implementation of e-commerce law since new year's day?

Along with the development of cross-border e-commerce, the scale of the purchasing industry is becoming larger and larger, and a lot of chaos has arisen, and many people have paid 100000 yuan a month for purchasing on behalf of others. Until the implementation of the new e-commerce law next year, many purchasing on behalf of others are starting to panic.

'you never know who will be the next agent in your circle of friends. 'everyone has a lot of purchasing agents in their circle of friends. This kind of psychology starts to shield, shield and go in to see what good things can be bought. I'm sure you and I are not new to each other. There are endless news such as' buying a house and a car on behalf of others' and' buying a house and a car on behalf of others'. Because of the difficulty of supervision, purchasing agents walk in the gray area of law and tax. However, in the future, the "good days" of the agents are afraid to come to an end.

From January 1, 2019, China's first e-commerce law, the e-commerce law of the people's Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as the e-commerce law), will be formally implemented. The new law makes it clear that natural persons who engage in commodity and service business activities by means of wechat circle of friends, online live broadcast, etc. are also e-commerce operators. Those who engage in personal purchasing and wechat business also need to go through industrial and commercial registration to obtain relevant administrative permission and pay taxes according to law. Among them, personal online stores, wechat businesses, live marketing, brush praise, big data killing, taxation, etc. have become the highlights of this legislation.

Wechat business in friend circle is one of the key points of supervision

Up to 2 million yuan fine for violation

According to the data released by the e-commerce research center, in the first half of 2018, the scale of cross-border import e-commerce transactions in China reached 1.03 trillion yuan, an increase of 19.4% year on year, and it is expected to reach 1.9 trillion yuan in 2018.

Along with the development of cross-border e-commerce, the scale of the purchasing industry is becoming larger and larger, and a lot of chaos has arisen, such as tax evasion, the proliferation of fake goods, the disclosure of personal information, and the responsibility of after-sales shirking. At the same time, it is difficult to supervise individual purchasing behavior, especially in the circle of friends.

Dong Yizhi, a special researcher of e-commerce research center and a lawyer of Shanghai Yida law firm, told reporters that wechat friend circle's wechat business is one of the difficulties in implementing the new e-commerce law and one of the significance of launching the e-commerce law. 'it's very noteworthy to put social e-commerce, especially wechat business, into the regulatory scope, because wechat business has now become a part of life. '

Tencent's relevant person in charge told reporters that wechat has always discouraged the use of personal wechat for commercial marketing. For the personal wechat that users report more and involve the sale of fake goods, fraud and commercial infringement, after verification, wechat will ban some functions (such as prohibiting the use of nearby people), freeze and permanently block the illegal personal wechat at different levels.

"For the harassment information in the circle of friends, users can choose to block the relevant information; for the account with serious harassment, users can also & lsquo; cancel the friend relationship & rsquo;. At the same time, the circle of friends supports reporting against a single message. "Said the person in charge of Tencent.

Industry insiders summed up several key points of the electricity business law: no matter what purchasing agency, it needs business license, or business license of both the purchasing country and China; it needs to pay tax, tax evasion and tax evasion must bear criminal responsibility; it is not allowed to sell milk powder health care products produced by factories without Chinese labels, which are not certified by CNCA. According to the e-commerce law, e-commerce operators will be subject to strict supervision in the future, and will face a maximum fine of 2 million in case of violation.

Bring gifts for relatives and friends

Business activities are also subject to tax

After 95, Xiaomei, a female student studying in Australia, usually works part-time as a purchasing agent when her school is not busy. The buyers are mainly domestic relatives and friends. It's said that Xiaomei is worried about the implementation of the electricity business law. 'will I be supervised in the future when I help my relatives and friends to bring gifts and a small number of purchases on behalf of them?'

According to the electricity business law, individuals engaged in sporadic small amount transactions do not need to register market entities in accordance with laws and administrative regulations. However, it is also necessary to apply for tax registration in accordance with the provisions of tax collection and management laws and administrative regulations, and report and pay taxes truthfully. Otherwise, it will be imposed a fine ranging from 20000 to 500000 yuan.

According to lawyer Dong Yizhi, overseas purchasing agency meets the "operation" elements of "engaging in sales and providing services through Internet and other information networks". "This article focuses on & lsquo; business activities & rsquo;. It does not mean that when consumers go abroad to help their friends bring things, it is considered to be within the scope, but whether their behaviors will be recognized as & lsquo; business activities & rsquo;. In this regard, it may be necessary to refer to the amount of profits, the number of activities, the length of time, etc. '

After the implementation of the electricity business law, will it affect the enthusiasm of consumers? Guo ziri, a long-time "overseas shopping" consumer, told reporters that the main concern is the cost. All the tax and operating costs will ultimately be paid by the consumers, "the wool comes from the sheep". Chen Ming, a consumer, said that some trusted wechat businesses that he has collected and purchased for a long time have already said in the circle of friends that they will not do it in the future. "The trust accumulated over the years will be gone, and they will be screened again. 'but more consumers think that it's a good thing to put purchasing agency under supervision. At least in the future, they can find a place to pursue responsibility, and overseas Taoists have laws to follow. They are no longer afraid of buying fake goods or shirking responsibility after sales.

In Xiao Wu's opinion, the enthusiasm for consumption will be affected in a short period of time, but sooner or later it will 'pick up'. Those who really need to buy are just more reassured by the price. Those who don't buy will not buy any more questions. '

Dong Yizhi told reporters that after the e-commerce operators are included in the tax, it may strike the operators on the platform. 'due to weak supervision and system, operators on the platform have been used to not paying taxes. From the perspective of this e-commerce law, there is no sign of setting up separate taxes for operators in the e-commerce platform. On the contrary, it is clear that as operators, they should pay taxes as long as production and operation meet the tax collection requirements without distinguishing between online and offline, traditional and e-commerce. '

Some of them are looking for new jobs

Someone's going to change careers

'the last three months! I won't do it in three months. Please contact me as soon as you take the goods with you!' in the future, all the goods will be declared and taxed, and the price increase is certain! In the circle of friends, the agents have started to prepare for three months later. Some buyers told reporters that during this period, many buyers are even more 'crazy' than sellers. Many goods that were not considered as best-selling are now out of stock. Some buyers even don't pick and choose at all. They can buy whatever they can get, and they will not hesitate to increase the price, just to stock up.

Xiaojie is a senior agent who has been working for 5 years. Her main products are from Japan and Australia. Xiaojie told Qianjiang Evening News that she had registered the company several years ago and had all the formalities of business license. Therefore, the electricity business law had little impact on her, and she would continue to purchase on behalf of others. 'it's nothing more than a personal channel to a corporate channel. '

But Xiaojie also said frankly that before, we could carry back the human flesh and blood of commodities and avoid taxes reasonably by traveling and going abroad; in the future, when we turn to the company channel, all commodities should be declared and taxed, and many kinds of commodities need to be labeled in Chinese, so the process will be more complicated, and the price of commodities in the future will increase moderately.

There are only a few people like Xiaojie who are easily transformed. Xiaojie's many full-time purchasing partners, some of whom are preparing to make a fortune in three months, wash their hands and not do it. Some are preparing to register their companies in a hurry. 'I have some little sisters who are already applying for resumes and are ready to return to work in the next year. '

Xiao Zhang, a Japanese representative, also has a registered company. It's not difficult to continue to do so, but she still has concerns. So she's also preparing for the transition to luxury follow-up services. With years of accumulation, she has a large number of iron fans. If the water test fails after the implementation of the new regulations, it can be her alternative.
