跨境电商VAT税务合规指南：4600位卖家被警告的惨痛教训
随着跨境电商行业的蓬勃发展，税务合规已成为卖家不可忽视的重要环节。 深圳欧税通技术有限公司副总经理韩莎莎指出："申报和缴税是VAT合规化的两大核心。如果把店铺比作小孩，那么税号就相当于'防疫针'，需要定期'体检'（申报）和'喂养'（缴税），才能健康成长。"
With the rapid development of cross-border e-commerce, tax compliance has become a crucial aspect that sellers cannot afford to ignore. Han Shasha, Deputy General Manager of Shenzhen Oushuitong Technology Co., Ltd., pointed out: "Declaration and tax payment are the two core elements of VAT compliance. If we compare a store to a child, then the tax number is equivalent to a 'vaccination', requiring regular 'check-ups' (declaration) and 'feeding' (tax payment) for healthy growth."
在过去两年中，英国税务部门对亚马逊、eBay等电商平台上的卖家进行了全面清查，4600家电商卖家因税务问题收到了警告。特别是在销售旺季，任何税务问题都可能给卖家带来致命打击。
In the past two years, the UK tax authorities conducted comprehensive inspections of sellers on platforms like Amazon and eBay, with 4,600 e-commerce sellers receiving warnings due to tax issues. Especially during peak sales seasons, any tax problems can deal a fatal blow to sellers.
