For the majority of cross-border e-commerce sellers, tax compliance has recently become a difficult and focal point in their operations.

There are several core headaches that people commonly face, including compliance filings for multi-store models, difficult deductions for overseas platform expenses, purchases without invoices, and income tax cost expensing.

Tax compliance policies have progressed

Currently, progress on the core issues of concern to sellers is focused in three main directions:

1) In terms of a compliant way out of a multi-store operation:It is recommended that a "filing system" be adopted. Specifically, the information (such as tax identification numbers and store names) of multiple stores under the same business entity will be filed with the local tax authorities through a filing system, and eventually summarized in a core filing entity.

2) For overseas platform fees:It is recommended to adopt the "positive enumeration" method similar to that of stamp duty to clarify the items and proportion that can be expensed, including what kind of costs can be expensed, what kind of bills can be expensed, and what kind of vouchers can be expensed, etc., so as to help the sellers to make EIT declaration in a more reasonable manner.

3) In process optimization and voucher management:For those who get special invoices, tax refund will be made through intelligent and digital means in the future to speed up the timeliness of tax refund; for those who get ordinary invoices, the focus is to promote the standardization of cost expensing before enterprise income tax; for those who do not have invoices, the core of the business is to promote the sunshine and convenience of the operation of "tax exemption without invoices" and make it legally implementable through the on-line registration and other systematic solutions. The systematic program makes it legal.

Therefore, against the backdrop of tightening compliance regulations and normalization of tax audits, many companies are facing common problems such as missing cost tickets, social security non-compliance, and difficulties in handling large sums of money.

01 Enterprise Finance Group Real Client Case 3

Today, we share a [tax compliance] case study from Enterprise Finance Group3.

The client had $200,000 in pending revenue and $500,000 in personal compensation, and needed to find a low-tax and compliant path that would be scalable for both the near term and the long term. As a result, the client was faced with 4 major challenges:

(1) Multiple funds are mixed, and the compliance path is complex: the customer has two funds of different nature, at different times, and with different payers that need to be consolidated and handled.

(2) High tax cost: Under the traditional treatment, high personal tax coexists with the risk of potential tax violations, which puts clients in a dilemma between compliance and cost control.

(3) Difficulty in choosing a program: Customers are worried about the risk of audit and new costs, and have difficulty in choosing between the two programs.

(4) Uncertainty of long-term revenue: the continuity of revenue is unknown, and clients are afraid that the program will be inflexible, resulting in subsequent inactivity or limitations.

02 Three Pain Points in Cross-Border E-Commerce Tax Compliance

Pain point 1: Downstream can't get tickets, costs can't be deducted

This is by far the most prevalent and almost insoluble dilemma.

  • status quo::The vast majority of suppliers, small factories and individual sellers are unable to provide compliant invoices, especially VAT invoices. In order to get the goods, e-commerce companies often need to accept "no invoice price".
  • dilemma::
    • Tax Points: You offer to take on the tax point to allow downstream invoicing, but this amounts to a tax burden shift and the cost is ultimately absorbed by you.
    • For individual sellers: If the downstream is an individual, even if you are willing to bear the tax points, the other party can not issue an invoice. Unless the other party specifically goes to register an individual with an authorized levy, but this is usually only possible with a general invoice.Failure to address the core VAT input credit issue. The VAT chain is essentially broken here.

Pain point 2: High advertising and marketing costs, far exceeding pre-tax deduction limits

This is a permanent pain in the heart of platform e-commerce and store group model players.

  • realism::In today's high cost of traffic, almost no e-commerce business with a sizable revenue can keep advertising costs (platform promotion, live stream casting, etc.) within 15% of revenue. Especially merchants who rely on the store group model to rush volume, paid traffic is the lifeline to maintain exposure.
  • policy contradiction::The tax law stipulates that the advertising and business promotion expenses incurred by general enterprises are allowed to be deducted up to 15% of the sales (business) income of the year; the excess is allowed to be carried forward for deduction in the subsequent tax year. However, for e-commerce companies whose advertising expenses often account for 20%, 30% or even higher, theSignificant excess is not deductible in the current year, which directly pushes up the current taxable incomeThis is equivalent to paying an additional tax for "buying traffic" itself.

Pain point 3: High return rates erode revenue and complicated tax treatment

This is a characteristic challenge for consumer goods e-commerce, especially in industries such as apparel and footwear.

  • industry practice: "seven days no reason to return" has become the standard, clothing and other categories of return rate as high as 30%-50% is not uncommon.
  • Financial and tax implicationsA high return rate means that a large portion of the recognized revenue will eventually flow back. Although it can be handled by "sales return" in accounting and tax, frequent returns bring huge workload to the practical aspects such as invoicing, offsetting, cost transfer, etc., and if it is not handled in a timely manner or in a standardized manner, it will lead to a loss of revenue.Over-recognition of income and over-payment of tax in prior periodsThe funds are unreasonably tied up.

03 Breakthrough Ideas: Finding a Balance Between Compliance and Survival

Since tax-related information reporting is a major trend and the road to compliance must be traveled, the key is:How do you find a solution that meets regulatory requirements while allowing e-commerce businesses to pay taxes and retain profits?

This requires planning and optimization at an integrated level of business model, tax structure and financial management:

1)Business Re-engineering and Supply Chain Sorting::

Revisit the upstream supply chain to find a new balance between price and compliance. Gradually replace key suppliers with partners who can provide compliant tickets, even if the cost of purchasing goes up slightly, but obtaining deductible input tickets can recover from the overall tax burden.

2) Main design and tax planning::

According to the segmentation of business segments (e.g. cross-border platforms, store groups, live streaming with goods, offline sourcing, etc.), rationally utilize the tax policies of different market players (e.g. preferential policies for small and micro enterprises, individual businessmen and women), and carry out a conglomerate or matrix layout. For segments with high non-invoiced expenses such as Darren Carrying Goods, explore modes such as settlement through compliant platforms to convert labor remuneration into purchasing costs that can be invoiced.

3) Accurate accounting and account management::

Establish a financial accounting system that is highly compatible with the e-commerce business. Especially for the characteristic items such as return, promotion fee, platform fee, etc., carry out refined account processing and tax preparation to ensure the data is accurate and avoid overpayment of unjust tax.

4) Policy Research and Compliance Innovation::

Pay close attention to and study tax policies and local financial support policies for new businesses such as e-commerce and live broadcasting. Under the premise of legal compliance, make good use of various tax incentives and approved levies and other tools.
