He said the online mall (B2C) is a business operations, which should normative tax; but most personal shop (C2C) business conditions in general, mainly to solve personal or family life, the relevant departments or should “Fangshuiyangyu” to encourage them to bigger and stronger. Prior to that, whether the shop on tax issues in Beijing, Hangzhou, overheating caused by proposed, but ultimately none of practice, Wuhan, e-commerce development is not fast enough, but more liberal policies to foster.

Tax charges will not be brought low as the shop’s core competence, is not conducive to sustained and healthy development of e-commerce. Only by improving product and service quality, consumers and operators will form a win-win situation.
