This isn't a random inspection; it'sSystematic Screening<\/strong><\/a>The<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might be one of them. With annual sales in the millions or tens of millions, your domestic company has consistently filed zero tax returns. You used to think, \u201cIt\u2019s fine\u2014no one will check.\u201d But now, the system has flagged you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting in March 2026, tax authorities in Shenzhen, Chengdu, Hangzhou, and other cities will conduct direct telephone audits; those with zero tax returns or discrepancies in their filings will be required to pay back taxes. Cross-border e-commerce sellers in Shenzhen, Changsha, and other cities have been receiving telephone audits from tax authorities, which are focusing on three high-risk groups: those with a history of long-term zero tax returns, those who have underreported overseas income, and those with discrepancies in their platform data.<\/a>The<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just because nothing has happened over the past three years doesn't mean this won't happen to you. And now, it's happening.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

01 How is your name tagged?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The entire verification process is divided into three stages, and you may currently be in one of them.<\/a>::<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phase 1: Automatic system tagging.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the implementation of the regulations on the reporting of tax-related information via the Internet in 2025, major platforms such as Amazon and AliExpress have been submitting sellers\u2019Complete Sales Data<\/strong>Submit directly to the tax authority<\/a>The<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The system automatically performs a comparison: if your reported figure is zero but the sales figures pushed by the platform range from several hundred to tens of millions\u2014once this discrepancy exceeds a certain threshold, the system will automatically flag it and trigger an alert.<\/a>The<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entire process requires no human intervention and no one needs to file a report. Even if you don\u2019t transfer funds through a corporate account or issue an invoice, the tax authorities can still access the data from the platform.<\/a>The<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this stage, your name is already on a list\u2014it just hasn't been your turn yet.<\/strong><\/a>The<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 2: Receive a text message or phone call.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sellers on the list will gradually receive text messages from the tax authority or phone calls from tax officials alerting them to anomalies in their reported data and requesting that they conduct a self-audit of their sales for the third and fourth quarters of 2025 and proactively pay any outstanding tax liabilities.<\/a>The<\/p>\n\n\n\n

October 2025, February 2026, April 2026\u2026 Sellers in many parts of the country have already receivedFour-wheeled<\/strong>Tax Alerts<\/a><\/a>The<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you've already received a text message, that means you're in the second stage.There is still some room for maneuver at this stage.<\/strong>...If handled properly, you may only have to pay back taxes without incurring a fine.<\/a>The<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But many sellers' first instinct is to drag their feet\u2014ignoring text messages and not answering phone calls, thinking they can get away with it by not responding.It's actually completely useless.<\/strong><\/a>The<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phase 3: Receipt of the \u201cNotice of Investigation into Risk Issues.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the most dangerous stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The notice clearly states in black and white:<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSince its establishment, your organization has consistently filed zero returns through the Electronic Tax Bureau. Based on the sales data for the third and fourth quarters of 2025 provided by the online platform, your organization is suspected of filing false tax returns.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
