Core Viewpoint - The cross-border e-commerce industry is entering a new phase of "data transparency and compliance normalization" due to recent tax information reporting notifications from platforms like Amazon and AliExpress, alongside reminders from tax authorities for declaration verification. This shift is driven by the implementation of the "Regulations on Tax Information Reporting by Internet Platform Enterprises" set to take effect in October 2025, which has already seen over 6,500 domestic and foreign platforms report basic information to tax authorities [1]. Group 1: New Regulations Core - The core change of the new regulations is that platforms are required to report two key types of information to tax authorities on a quarterly basis: seller identity information and quarterly income details. Even if a store is canceled or the operator changes in the third quarter, the platform must still report complete identity and corresponding income information, and "fake order" income cannot be excluded from the total declaration [3]. Group 2: Compliance Requirements - Sellers with an annual transaction volume exceeding 100,000 yuan must complete market entity registration, and individual businesses must register at their actual operating location, prohibiting illegal registration in other locations. After registration, there is no need for separate tax registration, but sellers must confirm their information with tax authorities upon incurring tax obligations to ensure smooth declaration channels [4]. - The core of compliance is "full-caliber income declaration": all taxable income from both online platforms and offline channels must be consolidated and declared within the specified time frame. Non-monetary income such as platform virtual currency and points must be recognized based on "receipt time" rather than "withdrawal time." Sellers with taxable sales exceeding 5 million yuan must proactively register as general taxpayers to avoid tax recovery and late fees [5]. - For sellers using overseas warehouses (customs supervision code 9810), the tax authority has introduced the "tax refund upon departure" policy, allowing for tax refunds on goods that have cleared customs regardless of whether they have been sold. Sellers must mark "overseas warehouse pre-refund" on the declaration details [6]. - If there is a change in the store operator, the platform must report both the previous and new entity information along with corresponding income and indicate the start and end dates of operations. After store cancellation, transaction records and financial flows must be retained for at least one year to serve as key evidence during tax audits [7]. - Sellers must strictly classify products according to the "Cross-Border E-Commerce Retail Import List," ensuring that the declared information matches the actual products to avoid penalties or loss of tax benefits due to classification errors [8]. Group 3: Compliance Risks - False income declarations will trigger audits if the data reported by the platform does not match the tax declaration, leading to tax recovery, late fees, and fines [9]. - Illegal registration through "proxy addresses" where the actual operating location does not match the registered address has become a focus of tax audits [9]. - Omitting non-monetary income such as platform virtual currency and points from taxable totals is considered income concealment and is a violation [9]. Group 4: Industry Outlook - The implementation of new regulations is seen not as "compliance pressure" but as an inevitable trend towards industry standardization. Cross-border sellers need to complete their compliance checks promptly, solidifying their registration, income declaration, and tax refund operations while leveraging policies like "tax refund upon departure" for stable development [9].
