The interpretation behind the US tax storm was actually premeditated

Yesterday, Alice was very excited about the

He expressed his views on the US taxation incident

Is the US going to impose taxes on Amazon sellers? !

When many media are exaggerating the severity of the incident

Let sellers who follow Alice calm down

Today, as expected

The media is turning the other way again.

Now that we have confirmed, there is no need to be nervous.

Now we can dig deeper into why such emails are sent to us

When a similar situation happens again, you can distinguish right from wrong.

Today, when Alice was digging deeper into this matter, she accidentally discovered this overseas news

After a rough look, the California Department of Revenue

(CDTFA) Not long ago

A large-scale surprise tax audit was carried out locally

I visited almost all the Chinese restaurants on the road in one day.

And the intensity of spot checks is very large

In previous years, it was rare to see a tax inspection team consisting of even two people.

This time the surprise inspection was conducted by a team of three.

Some stores were fined up to $250,000 in this review.

Combined with the above social news

Although the California government has not released any information

Alice speculated that they had conducted a tax screening program in October

Pressure on Amazon to provide third-party sellers tax information

This must be part of the plan.

Amazon has been asked to provide sellers with tax information more than once or twice.

This year alone

Amazon has twice come under pressure from local state governments

Share third-party sellers’ tax information with the government

The sellers were notified via email of the two times the tax information was shared.

(Yes, it is very similar to this incident)

This is because US law

When the platform wants to disclose user data to any third party

The user must be notified of the reason and given a specific time

Let’s get back to our main topic - the tax collection incident.

So far, Alice has received feedback from sellers in different situations.

Whether it is a big or small seller, an individual or a company

All of them have received this tax collection email

Even the internal official Alice consulted

I am also confused about this incident.

Now let me summarize the current situation.

A lot of content has been updated compared to yesterday

But the conclusion remains unchanged

Regardless of whether it is a routine notification from Amazon before sharing data

Still for companies registered in California and US taxpayers

This email doesn’t mean much to us Chinese sellers.

Everyone should do a good job in operations

After all, making money is the bottom line

Finally, I would like to thank my friends in the group and Alice for their timely feedback
