2019年1月1日起实施电子商务法，按照规则，电商卖家需要办理营业执照，并且公布在店铺显著位置，否则将会影响到店铺正常运营。
First: Understand e-commerce law
Second: Who needs a business license to open an online store
(1) Who does not need to register a market entity?
Registration is not required if the following situations are met:
1) Individual sales of self-produced agricultural and sideline products;
2) Personal sales of home handicraft products;
3) Individuals use their skills to engage in convenient labor activities that do not require permission according to law;
4) Individuals conduct sporadic small-scale trading activities;
5) Other situations where registration is not required in accordance with laws and administrative regulations.
(2) Do you have to comply with the provisions of the E-commerce Law when selling things online?
Yes, it is the same as it is in China, including self-operated e-commerce companies that build their own websites or APPs, or operators who sell goods or provide services through various social and information media such as official accounts, mini programs, circles of friends, groups, private messages, headlines, live broadcasts, short videos, etc. As long as goods are sold or services are provided through the Internet, there is a consistent view in compliance with e-commerce laws.
(III) It’s only been more than a month and the country hasn’t announced the details yet. Is it time to go?
We will closely monitor the legislative trends of various national departments and will notify everyone as soon as details are issued. In terms of compliance time, I believe that the government will fully consider the difficulties faced by everyone, so please rest assured. Taobao will also provide support for products, rules and service processes.
(IV) Will there be any changes in tax payment after the E-commerce Law come into effect?
The E-commerce Law does not involve adjustments to tax elements such as tax types and tax rates. Tax-related issues are still implemented in accordance with the "Tax Collection and Administration Law" and relevant regulations. At present, the "Tax Collection and Administration Law" is being revised. After the revision is passed, we will notify everyone of changes in laws and regulations as soon as possible. Please keep your attention.
The country is continuing to introduce various policies on tax and fee reduction to help the development of new industries, new models and new business forms, vigorously cultivate new economic growth points, and support private enterprises to become bigger and stronger. We will continue to cooperate with relevant national departments to effectively implement the policies of "encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship, continuous tax reduction and burden reduction, continuous optimization of tax service and simplifying processes" to help small and medium-sized sellers develop.
Finally: How to apply for a business license for Taobao C store
After understanding the e-commerce law, if you think your online store needs a business license, please go to the local industrial and commercial bureau to apply.
Information required for business license:
1) One inch/two inch crown free photo
2) Original and copy of ID card
3) Copy of business property certificate and original lease contract
4) Copy of the original ID card of the agent
Process for applying for a business license:
1) Go to the comprehensive window of the industrial and commercial department to fill out the application form and submit the materials;
2) Get and fill out the "Application for Pre-Approval of Individual Industrial and Commercial Household Names", and take at least 2 or more store names for review. If only one is taken, it is easy to repeat and fail. Named composition: administrative division + font size + industry + organizational form;
3) After the name is approved, you will receive the "Application for the Opening of Individual Industrial and Commercial Households", fill out the form and submit it for acceptance. Generally, it takes about 5 days to apply for a business license for individual industrial and commercial households.
