Let's take a look at the provisions of the Electronic Commerce Law:
First, apply for subject registration. For many people, shopping online is convenient because they don't need to apply for a business license. However, the new regulations require that e-commerce operators should apply for business licenses like physical stores, except for the following situations (individuals selling agricultural products and household handicrafts, individuals using skills to engage in convenient labor activities and sporadic small transactions without obtaining permission according to law). If they don't apply, once they are found, they will be fined up to 500,000 yuan.
Second, tax registration is required, which means that e-commerce also needs to pay taxes according to law. The regulations stipulate: "E-commerce operators should record and keep the information of goods and services on the platform, and the transaction information should be no less than 3 years from the date of completion of the transaction." This requires e-commerce operators to make good accounts and make tax returns according to regulations.
Third, it is forbidden to illegally brush or delete comments, which means that e-commerce businesses need to truly show their evaluation of product sales, and hiring navy to brush sales and praise will be prohibited. According to the provisions of the E-Commerce Law: "It is also illegal to delete comments, especially negative comments. Operators of e-commerce platforms may not delete consumers' comments on goods sold or services provided by their platforms. "
In other words, opening an online store also requires a business license. However, there are the following exceptions:
1. Individuals open online stores to sell self-produced agricultural and sideline products.
2. There is also a person who opens a shop online to sell cottage products.
3. If you have a skill and help others with your own skill, you don't need to apply for a license for the convenience labor activities that only sell technical support and provide services.
4. Individuals open online stores to do sporadic small transactions.
5. Other circumstances in which registration is not required by laws and administrative regulations.
How to deal with it?
The procedure for obtaining a business license is: the applicant applies to the registration hall or industrial and commercial office under the jurisdiction of individual industrial and commercial households-the registration department accepts it-approves the registration decision-and issues the license.
According to the new "E-commerce Law", except for some individuals who sell agricultural and sideline products and technologies, or people who deal in small amounts, they need to apply for a business license to open a shop online. Those who want to open a shop online for a long time and continue to develop suggest that it is best to apply for a business license first. Of course, you can also go to Taobao town to handle it.
