Sellers in many places suddenly receive tax warning text messages! In the era of tax by numbers, cross-border e-commerce compliance transformation should not be delayed
Published: 2026-02-09

"Dear taxpayer, the VAT revenue you declared for the third and fourth quarters of 2025 is less than the amount of revenue reported to the tax authorities by the internet platform companies ......"

On February 5, the cell phones of cross-border e-commerce sellers in Zhejiang, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Anhui and other places almost simultaneously rang with this warning text message. Unlike previous years, this warning was issued before the deadline for filing15 days onlyOn the early trigger, so that many sellers called "the pressure to make up for the tax mountain".

Since the Regulations on Tax-Related Information Reporting by Internet Platform Enterprises came into force, platforms such as Amazon have begun to synchronize seller transaction data with tax authorities on a quarterly basis. This fourth-quarter warning is the first large-scale practical test of the regulations after they came into force, marking the"Taxes by the numbers" The efficient implementation phase is fully under way.

First, the declaration of differences into the high incidence of early warning, the statistical caliber is the main reason

The core problem with the warnings received by cross-border e-commerce sellers is thatInconsistency between declared income and data reported on the platformTake Amazon as an example. In the case of Amazon, for example, the platform usually reports the "gross income" that includes refunds, commissions and other items, while sellers should declare the actual "net income" calculation. This difference in the caliber of statistics is very easy to trigger a warning under the system's automatic comparison mechanism.

Professional advice: Sellers should immediately export platform business reports and settlement statements, fully check the discrepancies with tax returns, retain transaction vouchers and expense invoices, and correct the declarations in a timely manner through the e-Tax Bureau.

Special attention should be paid to the fact that the tax authorities also have a bottom line on the profit margin for corporate income tax. It is understood that most sellers in Shenzhen, Dongguan and other places have already paid the EIT according to the5% MarginFiling corporate income tax returns is slightly above the minimum requirement of 4%. If you fall below the standard, you are very likely to trigger a warning or even be interviewed.

Second, not only to check the new, but also to clear the old: late payment and credit risk double pressure

Unlike the third quarter warning, this SMSSynchronized alerts for third and fourth quarter data, indicating that the tax authorities have not relaxed on the historical problems. Many sellers have begun to pay back taxes for the third quarter, and in addition to the amount of back taxes, it is even more heartbreaking thatLate fee of five ten thousandths of a cent per day--The longer you delay, the more you lose.

Third, what should sellers do? Two Steps to a Safe Transition

In the face of this wave of warnings, anxiety is useless; action is the key:

  1. Proactive handling of legacy issues
    Immediately verify the difference in filing for each quarter of 2025, and clean up past non-compliant operations (e.g., wrongly using 0110 for customs declaration, buying orders for export, etc.). There is a world of difference in legal risks and penalties between taking the initiative to make up the difference and being chased by an audit.
  2. Move to 9810 compliance model as soon as possible
    Since big data has locked up sales revenue, the only way out is to make the "customs export" and "platform sales" correspond to each other in the legal logic.9810 modeIt is a compliance path designed by the state for overseas warehouse sellers, which not only solves the tax matching problem, but also enjoys the tax refund and exemption dividend brought by compliance.
