1. Chinese return to China and be taxed
Many Chinese are concerned about whether gifts brought to relatives and friends by visiting relatives when the electronic commerce law comes into effect will be taxed by Chinese customs.
Due to the electronic commerce law, personal goods tax exemption of 5000 yuan, more than part of the tax will be taxed. In addition, if the customs thinks you are in excess of the reasonable use amount, you will also have to pay the tax or forfeit the fine.
In other words, even for their family and friends to bring gifts, as long as the value of more than 5000 yuan, but also may need to pay taxes!
But at that time all this was unknown, then time stepped into the beginning of the year, more and more people finally experienced a real tax!
Someone bought a new cell phone from Hong Kong and was checked and asked to pay tax by the Customs and Excise Department (C & Ed):
Netizens said: really with the money of the Bank of China to buy the Hong Kong Bank's mobile phone ah!
A lot of netizens posted the message of customs notice to pay tax:
This friend took advantage of the black 50% discount to quickly struggle for a wave, originally thinking about a little price discount, good quality of overseas clothes and bags, million did not expect, next is to fill in the declaration form, provide certificates, shopping vouchers, the next thing to face is to fill in the declaration form, provide certificates, and shopping vouchers. I went to Shanghai Customs to pay for my ransom.
Even the return of foreign students to the airport during the Chinese New year holiday has not been spared. When she entered the customs in Shanghai, she was directly taxed because she brought her bag and watch to her family.
Even a follow-up flight missed!
It seems that gifts are not what you want to bring with you, in the strong shrouded in the new law, Chinese friends regardless of overseas shopping, returning people with hand gifts, all need to be carefully measured!
2. Australian Chinese talk about tax experience
Ms. Wang, who has lived in Australia for five years, bought a plane ticket last month and is ready to return home to visit relatives and friends. Since she has not returned home for years, she has finally had time to go home, and she must want to go home respectfully.
She also prepared many gifts, such as Australian health products, sheep oil, papaya cream, snow boots and so on prepared a large box!
However, when I read the news about customs duties on the Internet, I was very nervous. I heard my friends say that more than 5000 yuan would be taxed. Ms. Wang had to dismantle the boxes and packaging of health products and cut the labels on snow boots. "I haven't returned home for so many years. Of course I wanted to go home once, but I was in no mood to see anything that was torn apart by myself. " Ms. Wang said.
To think of their own return to China also need to explain to friends the reasons for unpacking, plain white so many things, is really not very good!
She said: as for purchasing agents, it is because of the strengthening of the legislation tax collection, but is it possible for the Chinese to use things for their own use more liberally? Such a "one-size-fits-all" makes people feel like a thief, make people laugh and cry.
3. The Chinese also have to abide by the rules.
All in all, under the current policy, whether or not the Chinese return to China to bring gifts will be taxed depends on your luck. Bad luck, that is, "punishment you have not discussed"!
The current official notification is as follows:
1. Chinese tourists abroad to obtain a total value of less than 5000 yuan tax exemption, if more than should be declared to the customs.
2. Overseas duty-free stores of Chinese tourists shall be exempted from duty under RMB 8000, if exceeded, shall be declared to the Customs.
3. Non-resident passengers should be exempt from duty-free goods for their own use up to $2,000. If they exceed these items, they should declare them to the Customs.
4. Avoid duplicate unopened product
5. If there are 20 customs duty-imposed products, please declare them: TV sets, cameras, VCRs, playback machines, audio equipment, air conditioners, refrigerators (freezers), washing machines, cameras, photocopiers, programmable telephone exchanges, Microcomputers and peripherals, telephones, wireless paging systems, fax machines, electronic counters, typewriters and word processors, furniture, lamps and meals.
At present, Chinese friends want to return home, there is still a great risk of being taxed, we still have to predict in advance the price of things brought with them, take the initiative to declare!
Finally, the end of the year, we should also carefully read the official entry explanation to avoid the necessary losses!
