On the Tmall International platform, many stores are operating. Once they are operating, they have to pay taxes. Many merchants are doing Tmall International stores for the first time and don’t know how to pay taxes. In fact, the tax of Tmall International stores is based on sales. Let’s take a look at how Tmall International stores pay taxes?
1. If the product needs to go through customs clearance procedures for express delivery, the merchant should notify the customer in advance to cooperate in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. The customer should cooperate and provide the necessary documents. If the store cannot ship because the customer does not cooperate, the store will not be responsible.
2. Enterprises shall not require customers to cooperate with matters other than laws and regulations or provide unnecessary documents.
3. Except for the declaration of customs duties for personal mailing items, the import tax generated by imported products shall be borne by the merchant, and the rest shall be borne by the customer.
a. At present, Tmall International no longer has the entrance of “tax value discount”, and customers do not need to obtain tax value discount. If the product is applicable to “tax value discount”, the merchant has actively used the “tax tool” to calculate the “tax discount”.
b. If the product that the merchant sees is fully taxed, then after the operation of the tax value discount tax package tool, the merchant indicates that the price given has included taxes and benefits.
c. If the merchant sees part of the tax value of the product, it means that although the merchant has used the tax package tool to discount the tax value, the merchant cannot fully bear it after the discount, and the buyer has to bear part of it.
However, in some cases, the discount amount is not equal to the tax amount. For example, some products have various discounts or discounts. After using the tax value discount, if the discounted price exceeds the total price of the product, the total discount price shall not exceed the total price of the product, so the tax value discount amount will be less than the tax amount, and the customer still needs to pay the corresponding tax.
For some special products (such as cosmetics), due to the limited discount amount of the merchant, the discount amount will be less than the tax, and the customer still needs to pay the corresponding tax.
High and low tax products (some beauty products) may not be fully taxed after using the tax package tool. It should be noted here that the tax also needs to be paid to the customs. Therefore, the subjective reason for Tmall International to apply for a refund cannot be borne by the merchant.
Tmall Global stores generally pay taxes directly online, or through the Tmall platform. The specific amount of tax paid is determined by the store’s sales. The business of Tmall Global stores is actually aimed at customers in the Chinese market, so it is essentially the same as Tmall Taobao stores.
