Previously, many people go to buy a single export, personal account receipts, do not do tax rebates, seem to save trouble, but the risk is getting bigger and bigger: foreign exchange reflux is difficult, the tax audit is strict, the platform is strictly investigate the source of funds, the store at any time may be involved because of non-compliance.

And of the many paths to compliance.0110 The combination of general trade declaration + Hong Kong company has become the mainstream choice for B2C sellers such as Amazon and independent sites.Today, we will combine the logic of practical operation, the set of models to explain thoroughly: why do it? How to do? What are the risks? Who is suitable for it?

Summary of this article:

First, why B2C sellers have to squeeze 0110 general trade?

Second, 0110 + Hong Kong company, how to get through the whole chain?

Third, why must be matched with a Hong Kong company?

Fourth, the operation of the key points: these steps to do wrong, directly affect the tax rebate

V. Which sellers are suitable for this model?

VI. Summary: Compliance is not a matter of choice, it is a matter of survival

"one" radical in Chinese characters (Kangxi radical 1),First things first: why do B2C sellers have to squeeze 0110 General Trade?

The first reaction of many sellers is: I do B2C, directly go 9610, 9710, 9810 not on the line? Why do you still need to set 0110?

There is only one core reason:Only 0110 General Trade can enjoy stable, compliant and full export tax rebate.

The comparison is clear:

• 9610/9710/9810:Suitable for cross-border e-commerce retail, simple declaration, but the tax refund process is complicated, the amount is limited, and many local policies are unstable
• 0110 General Trade:Traditional foreign trade standard export methods, tax rebate policy is mature, the process is clear, the capital chain is fully recognized by the supervision and management.

But 0110 has a hard threshold:The offshore consignee must be a business, not an individual consumer.

This has stuck a large number of B2C sellers -- how do you satisfy the “overseas corporate consignee” when your buyers are all overseas individuals?

The answer is:Use a Hong Kong company as an “offshore buyer” to package B2C business as a compliant B2B export.

二,Core Logic: 0110 + Hong Kong company, how to get through the whole chain?

The essence of the whole set of models is to build a four-stream compliance link: contract flow, invoice flow, goods flow and capital flow, all of which are closed-loop and traceable.

1. Master architecture (the most fundamental step)

• Mainland entities: general taxpayer company + import and export rights + export tax rebate filing
• Offshore entity: a Hong Kong limited company (as offshore purchaser)

2. Business link design

1. Mainland companies purchasing goods from suppliers.Obtaining VAT invoices
2. Mainland companiesSales contracts with Hong Kong companiesThe B2B trade is a very important part of the business of the company, and it is a very important part of its business.
3. cargoes0110 Customs clearance for exports under the general mode of tradeIf the consignee is a Hong Kong company, the consignee should be a Hong Kong company.
4. Goods are shipped to overseas warehouses / FBA, and eventually sold to overseas C-suppliers.
5. Platform payback → Hong Kong company collects the money → Hong Kong company pays the money to the mainland company → complete the collection of foreign exchange → apply for export tax rebate

One sentence summary:Using a Hong Kong company to “undertake” exports allows B2C sellers to go 0110 in name only, get tax refunds, and collect foreign exchange in a compliant manner.

surname San,Why do you need a Hong Kong company? More than one advantage

Many people think that a Hong Kong company is just “making up the numbers”, but in fact it is the core hub in this model.

1. Perfect solution to the 0110 offshore consignee requirement

0110 must be an offshore business, a Hong Kong company is the most compliant and lowest cost option.

2. Freedom of foreign exchange, more flexible fund dispatching

• No exchange controls
• Support USD, EUR, GBP and other multi-currency receipts
• Facilitating overseas payments to suppliers and logistics providers
• The return of funds to the Mainland is more standardized, avoiding the large amount of water flow in individual accounts from being subject to wind control

3. Significant optimization of tax costs

• Hong Kong applies the territorial source principle of taxation and profits not arising in Hong Kong can be claimed as offshore exemption
• Hong Kong has a low profits tax rate:Profit of only 8.25% for the first HK$2M, 16.5% thereafter
• No VAT, no customs duties
• No further dividend tax on dividends paid by shareholders

4. Making the whole chain more auditable

Customs, tax, foreign exchange, banks, it all corresponds:

• Customs declaration with Hong Kong company as consignee
• The bank transfers are cross-border transfers
• Contracts, invoices, and logistic slips are fully matched trulyNot afraid to check and check and check.

四,Practical key points: these steps do not do, directly affect the tax rebate

The model looks simple, but the details are so critical that one wrong step could result in no tax refund.

1. Mode of trade: must be 0110

Do not mix 9710/9810 or you will not be able to get a full refund under general trade.

2. FOB / CIF as far as possible.

Avoid EXW as much as possible, it is easy to be recognized as “incomplete transaction” by tax and customs, which will affect the tax refund audit.

3. The offshore consignee must be a Hong Kong company with the same information

The Hong Kong company information on the customs declaration, contract and water bill of exchange collection must be completely unified.

4. Reasonable pricing of related transactions

A Mainland company selling to a Hong Kong company must not sell at a price that is significantly lower, otherwise it will be recognized as transfer pricing, triggering tax risks.

5. Hong Kong companies must be formally audited

Never make “zero declaration” for a long time. The Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department (IRD) is closely scrutinizing e-commerce sellers, and once convicted of false declaration, the consequences will be serious, and it will also affect the collection of foreign exchange and tax refunds in the Mainland.

五,Which sellers fit this model?

✅ well suited

❌ Not suitable for the time being

• Small taxpayers, no room for refund
• New sellers who are just starting out and have a very small volume of orders
• Sellers who do not want to maintain a Hong Kong company and do not want to do an audit

6,In summary: Compliance is not a question of choice, it's a question of survival

Now the cross-border e-commerce, has passed the era of “barbaric growth”.

• Banks Crack Down on Large Collections in Personal Accounts
