Four Steps to Implement Compliance Modifications to Avoid Tax Risks

To ensure a smooth transition to compliance, the following four key actions are recommended for immediate implementation:

✅ Regulate the collection channel: Amazon payback is unified through the public account or Hong Kong company account, and the use of private accounts to collect foreign exchange is strictly prohibited.

✅ Replenishment of customs declaration vouchers: for 2023-2024 orders that have not been declared, replenishment of orders and complete retention of logistics vouchers through the 1039 marketplace purchasing model.

✅ Cleaning up private accounts: shareholders' private accounts are required to sign a supplementary loan agreement for large transfers, effectively avoiding 20% dividend tax.

✅Register for Offshore Tax ID: With the full launch of the EU OSS system in 2024, sellers who have not registered for VAT in time will face the risk of FBA inventory freezing.
