美國電商稅改巨變!23個(gè)州+1個(gè)特別行政區(qū)將向亞馬遜賣家增收銷售稅?
這是跨境二米Show第92篇文章。
所長今天凌晨(9月25日)折騰了一天總算回到我們偉大的兔子國~
今天所長給大家?guī)硪粋€(gè)有可能直接影響中國過百萬(非官方數(shù)據(jù)反正官方更沒數(shù)據(jù))跨境出口電商從業(yè)者的重磅新聞。
美國電商稅改巨變!23個(gè)州+1個(gè)特別行政區(qū)將向亞馬遜賣家增收銷售稅?
這事還得從所長這次在美國加州走街串巷講起。
這次的走訪,我和基友John一起拜訪了包括洛杉磯、三藩市兩個(gè)地區(qū)的好些美國本土的跨境電商、跨國電商、跨國商貿(mào)、跨國品牌投資稅務(wù)的新基友們。
在跟國內(nèi)的朋友們分享我們的一些見解的時(shí)候,曾經(jīng)發(fā)生過這么一段對(duì)話:
A賣家:
“老鐵們,listing今天五小時(shí)收到6條不帶vp的一星評(píng)價(jià),話說,亞馬遜怎么會(huì)允許如此低下的惡意攻擊手段存在?明明都能看出完全是惡意攻擊,這樣的評(píng)價(jià)也能過亞馬遜的post review系統(tǒng)?”
B賣家:
”我曾經(jīng)遇到過一個(gè)美國本土賣家做的一個(gè)兒童產(chǎn)品,三個(gè)月單款做爆,一開始就是找?guī)讉€(gè)朋友送了產(chǎn)品做了簡(jiǎn)單的測(cè)評(píng),后面700個(gè)多個(gè)都是自然評(píng)價(jià),后來被中國的賣家盯上了,搞了一堆差評(píng),iisting直接被凍結(jié),最后100多萬的貨要丟掉「浪費(fèi)啊,下次記得找所長米哥我給他找渠道處理還能找回部寶馬5!」,他去年還找我收他一批貨,現(xiàn)在他一提到中國賣家就恨死了“
JOHN:
"想說的是,經(jīng)驗(yàn)豐富的本土老美賣家他們不「S單」,他們會(huì)引導(dǎo)真正的客戶為他的listing服務(wù),從而拿到page 1和keyword ranking,同時(shí),他們深知amazon is not the only one of the sale channels of their brand distribution ,亞馬遜并非他們品牌產(chǎn)品的唯一銷售渠道,各種線下聯(lián)動(dòng)機(jī)制運(yùn)營使得美國本土賣家能輕松地找到自己的獨(dú)特的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)優(yōu)勢(shì)與壁壘,比如合規(guī)COMPLiANCE"
我在第91篇時(shí)曾經(jīng)貼了好幾個(gè)復(fù)習(xí)貼但是原貼的鏈接失敗了,我再這里重新貼一下:

那么就引出了本文最核心的重磅消息:
美國23個(gè)州+1個(gè)特別行政區(qū)同意參與MTC執(zhí)行向在線電商平臺(tái)賣家有關(guān)關(guān)聯(lián)稅務(wù)的自愿申報(bào)計(jì)劃

先看第一條新聞:
The Nexus Committee met by teleconference in closed session on April 18, May 16, June 20 and July 18, 2017 in order to discuss and develop for consideration a limited- time voluntary disclosure Proposal to be made available to online sellers that have nexus with a state as a result of having inventory located in a fulfillment center or warehouse in that state operated by a marketplace provider or from other nexus- creating activities of a marketplace provider in the state.?
美國關(guān)聯(lián)委員會(huì)在2017年4月18日,5月16日,6月20日和7月18日,分別舉行了4次閉門電話會(huì)議,主要討論和研究了有關(guān)一項(xiàng)旨在為因其在注冊(cè)州產(chǎn)生關(guān)聯(lián)問題的線上賣家提供有限時(shí)間內(nèi)的自愿披露計(jì)劃,這個(gè)計(jì)劃主要是要解決為其實(shí)際庫存商品存儲(chǔ)于由其他關(guān)聯(lián)實(shí)體服務(wù)商運(yùn)營的實(shí)體物流配送中心或者倉庫的某個(gè)州,但其提供的本地倉儲(chǔ)物流配送服務(wù)卻覆蓋不同州而產(chǎn)生的關(guān)聯(lián)問題。
看上去有拗口,簡(jiǎn)單點(diǎn)說:
美國關(guān)聯(lián)委員會(huì)已經(jīng)悄悄地開了四次閉門大會(huì),講的就是怎么樣收拾這些登記在某個(gè)州的亞馬遜FBA倉庫或者其他美國第三方倉儲(chǔ)物流配送服務(wù)的賣家們?cè)趯?shí)際銷售時(shí)不同州之間的配送而產(chǎn)生的銷售關(guān)聯(lián)稅務(wù)問題。
怎么解決,遠(yuǎn)的不說,他們先提出一個(gè)自愿披露計(jì)劃,讓你們自己先按跟他們商量約定的條款和金額繳納過往在注冊(cè)地以外的不同州銷售產(chǎn)品產(chǎn)生的銷售稅或使用稅,繳納了以后呢以后就不再追究,新的銷售就按商量好的方式方法來繳納。
這個(gè)自愿披露計(jì)劃是有時(shí)間限制的,如果你在寬恕期內(nèi)沒有跟委員會(huì)達(dá)成一致,以后你被各州起訴追繳相關(guān)銷售稅、使用稅或其他因關(guān)聯(lián)產(chǎn)生的稅務(wù)問題時(shí),就可能要付出在寬恕期計(jì)劃高很多倍的費(fèi)用和時(shí)間。
這里稍微有再補(bǔ)充一些網(wǎng)絡(luò)收集來的科普知識(shí):
什么是關(guān)聯(lián)
美國各州及地方政府均設(shè)有各自的稅收法律以及稅制體系,包括獨(dú)立的稅法規(guī)定、稅收征繳以及稅務(wù)司法機(jī)構(gòu)。 州(地方)政府可征收州(地方)所得稅、消費(fèi)稅、使用稅、財(cái)產(chǎn)稅等,部分州還征收特許權(quán)稅。美各州及地方政府稅收規(guī)定存在差異。一家從事跨州業(yè)務(wù)的美國公司是否要在不同州申報(bào)納稅,取決于該公司是否在該州建立了“關(guān)聯(lián)” 。 “關(guān)聯(lián)”的建立通常與公司的經(jīng)營活動(dòng)有關(guān)。
nexus的英文定義:A nexus in general means a connection. The term nexus is used in tax law to describe a situation in which a business has a "nexus" or presence in a state and is thus subject to state income taxes and to sales taxes for sales within that state.
所謂的nexus是一種情況,當(dāng)企業(yè)在某個(gè)州的經(jīng)營遇到了某些情況,州稅法就認(rèn)為該企業(yè)和這個(gè)州建立了聯(lián)系,進(jìn)而就要在這個(gè)州繳納州所得稅,這種境況就叫做nexus。
如是否有來源于該州的營業(yè)收入、是否在該州擁有資產(chǎn)、公司的在職人員在該州是否有實(shí)際經(jīng)營活動(dòng)等。一旦該州認(rèn)定公司與本州有足夠的“關(guān)聯(lián)”,就有權(quán)對(duì)公司征收所得稅或其他稅。如一家公司與數(shù)州都有足夠的“關(guān)聯(lián)”,則需將總應(yīng)納稅所得在幾個(gè)州之間進(jìn)行分?jǐn)偤笤俜?別計(jì)算各州所得稅。
按照AICPA美國會(huì)計(jì)師協(xié)會(huì)的建議,一般來說,專業(yè)分?jǐn)傇瓌t通常考慮三個(gè)因素:工資、財(cái)產(chǎn)和銷售收入。大多數(shù)州允許三因素平等權(quán)重,也有一些州對(duì)三因素給予不同權(quán)重。 所以,關(guān)聯(lián)意味著你需要考慮美國各州的公司所得稅規(guī)定、稅率均有不同。
說白了,就是,美國的官大爺們都曉得你們這些線上賣家在鉆美國不同州稅務(wù)差異的漏洞,現(xiàn)在果子熟得也差不多,再加上特朗普總統(tǒng)正在推動(dòng)的減輕美國國內(nèi)企業(yè)稅務(wù)的稅改,雖說不曉得什么時(shí)候能實(shí)現(xiàn),但是這么一來很多本來就缺錢的州更雪上加霜。這次的線上電商賣家自愿披露計(jì)劃,剛好能多少補(bǔ)充點(diǎn)各州的稅務(wù)空缺。
地主家都沒有余糧了......
那么問題來了,這個(gè)National Nexus Program美國國家關(guān)聯(lián)項(xiàng)目專委會(huì)又是什么東西?
我們來一起看看我摘選翻譯的委員會(huì)的章程:「原文可登錄MTC下載」

備注:
申請(qǐng)表中所申請(qǐng)的是一份申請(qǐng)減免過去4年本州估計(jì)的退繳稅債務(wù),并包含以下聲明:
National Nexus Program 國家關(guān)聯(lián)項(xiàng)目的工作人員不會(huì)處理一個(gè)基于誠意估計(jì)在本州所有追溯期內(nèi)可能涉及稅項(xiàng)總計(jì)少于500美金的申請(qǐng)。請(qǐng)注意,申請(qǐng)表示在以下的特定時(shí)間內(nèi)針對(duì)在線電商賣家自愿披露計(jì)劃的進(jìn)行,在該期限內(nèi),即使涉及的追繳稅款少于500美金也應(yīng)該進(jìn)行申請(qǐng)。
Also, response times permitted in this initiative may be shorter than those provided in the MTC Procedures for Voluntary Disclosure, in order to ensure that the taxpayer timely complies with Paragraph 4 below.?
同時(shí),為了確保納稅人們符合在下面的第4條中的要求,這個(gè)計(jì)劃所允許的響應(yīng)時(shí)間可能比MTC Procedures for Voluntary Disclosure MTC自愿披露流程更短。
The taxpayer is seeking relief from any past due sales/use tax, including interest and penalties, and if applicable, income/franchise tax liability, including interest and penalties, in connection with its online retail sales activity in the state, except for sales/use tax collected but not remitted, with the taxpayer agreeing to register as a seller or retailer with the state and timely collect, report and remit sales/use tax and file returns on all taxable retail sales to customers in the state prospectively as of the effective date (not later than December 1, 2017—taxpayers are encouraged to commence collection and remittance of sales/use tax prior to that date) of the voluntary disclosure agreement.

?If subject to income/franchise tax, the taxpayer further agrees to timely file income/franchise returns and pay such taxes due, commencing with the tax year including the effective date (not later than December 1, 2017) of the voluntary disclosure agreement. If the taxpayer has any collected but unremitted sales/use tax, then the taxpayer agrees to remit such tax to the state, including penalties and interest.?
如事關(guān)所得稅/加盟稅,根據(jù)本次自愿披露協(xié)議,納稅人更應(yīng)同意及時(shí)地整理納稅申報(bào)收入/加盟及繳納相應(yīng)的稅款,不晚于2017年12月1日前開始準(zhǔn)備當(dāng)年的稅務(wù)申報(bào)。如果納稅人還有已統(tǒng)計(jì)卻還沒繳納的銷售稅/使用稅,其同意把相關(guān)的稅費(fèi)繳納、相關(guān)罰款及利息交納于本州。
Note:?
States will not waive tax, penalties or interest on collected but unremitted taxes.?
備忘:
已登記但未繳納稅費(fèi)將不再各州享受稅務(wù)、罰金和利息的豁免
As provided in the MTC Procedures of Multistate Voluntary Disclosure, a taxpayer can apply to a state for voluntary disclosure anonymously and will not be required to disclose its identity to the state until the taxpayer registers with the state and the voluntary disclosure agreement is executed.?
如MTC Procedures of Multistate Voluntary Disclosure跨州自愿披露流程所提供的,納稅人可以匿名申請(qǐng)一個(gè)州的自愿披露,且不會(huì)被要求向本州公開其真實(shí)身份,直至納稅人在本州注冊(cè)且自愿披露協(xié)議執(zhí)行完成為止。
5、The taxpayer may choose which state and which tax type (sales/use tax, income/franchise tax or both) to seek voluntary disclosure relief for. The taxpayer can also withdraw the application for voluntary disclosure with any state at any time prior to execution of the voluntary disclosure agreement.?
5、納稅人可以選擇那個(gè)州及那個(gè)稅種(銷售稅/使用稅/所得稅/加盟稅或這些稅款中的兩者)來尋求自愿披露減免。納稅人同樣可以在自愿披露協(xié)議執(zhí)行前的任何時(shí)間的任何州撤回減免申請(qǐng)。
Normally, when a taxpayer applies for voluntary disclosure relief with states through the MTC MVDP, the taxpayer will be required to file returns and pay back tax liability, plus interest, for the lookback period that the state uses, which is generally the prior three to four years or more, depending on the state’s law or policy.?
一般來說,當(dāng)一個(gè)納稅人通過MTC MVDP在不同的州申請(qǐng)自愿披露減免時(shí),他將被要求在本州所追溯的時(shí)間內(nèi)(通常是本次申報(bào)前3/4年或更長,根據(jù)各州的法律或條款不一)填寫申報(bào)表并執(zhí)行包括利息在內(nèi)的繳稅義務(wù)。
6、The state will then waive tax liability, interest and penalties for the time period prior to the lookback period.
6、各州將豁免在追溯期之前的相關(guān)繳稅責(zé)任、利息及罰金。
Under the special time-limited initiative described above, for taxpayers meeting the above criteria, the states identified above (unless otherwise indicated) will agree to waive sales/use and income/franchise back tax liability, including penalties and interest, for prior tax periods, without regard to any lookback period, provided the taxpayer registers as a seller or retailer to collect, report and remit sales/use tax and commences to file sales/use tax returns and remit sales/use tax as of the effective date (not later than December 1, 2017) set forth in the voluntary disclosure agreement, and if the taxpayer is subject to income/franchise tax, the taxpayer commences filing income/franchise tax returns and paying tax due, commencing with the tax year that includes the effective date of the voluntary disclosure agreement (not later than December 1, 2017).?
在上述描述的特定時(shí)間限制的計(jì)劃范圍內(nèi),符合上述條件資格要求的納稅人,上述提及確認(rèn)的各州(除非其他特定州以外)將統(tǒng)一豁免銷售稅/使用稅/所得稅/加盟稅的追溯繳稅責(zé)任,包括相應(yīng)的罰金及離心,在豁免期限之前,將不考慮任何其他追溯期,將為納稅人提供注冊(cè)為賣家或零售商進(jìn)行稅務(wù)登記、報(bào)告和繳納相應(yīng)的銷售稅/使用稅并跟自愿披露協(xié)議約定,著手整理從不晚于2017年12月1日的有效日期前銷售稅/使用稅的申請(qǐng)以及繳納銷售稅/使用稅。
如果納稅人是針對(duì)所得稅/加盟稅,納稅人將著手所得稅/加盟稅地稅務(wù)申請(qǐng)表和支付相應(yīng)的稅費(fèi),同時(shí)其應(yīng)著手按自愿披露協(xié)議中規(guī)定的不晚于2017年12月1日前有效期內(nèi)地稅務(wù)年申報(bào)。
Note:?
See footnotes for Colorado, D.C., Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Colorado will provide back tax liability relief for sales/use tax, but will require payment of back tax liability and interest for a 4-year lookback period for income/franchise tax. D.C. will consider granting shorter or no lookback period for applications received under this initiative on a case by case basis.
備注:
參考腳注中有關(guān)科羅拉多州、華盛頓特別行政區(qū),馬薩諸塞州、明尼蘇達(dá)州和威斯康星州的提示。
其中科羅拉多州將為銷售稅/使用稅提供后繳稅費(fèi)的豁免,但要求支付在追溯期的4年內(nèi)有關(guān)的所得稅和加盟稅的后繳稅費(fèi)。而華盛頓特別行政區(qū)將考慮在這個(gè)計(jì)劃下按不同的個(gè)案基礎(chǔ)情況給予申請(qǐng)者更短甚至沒有追溯期。
?Massachusetts requires compliance with its standard 3-year lookback period; this lookback period in a particular case may be less than 3 years, depending on when vendor nexus was created.?
馬薩諸塞州則要求申請(qǐng)者支付3年的追溯期稅費(fèi),而某個(gè)特定案例中這個(gè)追溯期根據(jù)賣家實(shí)際產(chǎn)生的管理日期有可能會(huì)少于3年。
Minnesota’s customary lookback period is 3 years for sales/use tax and 4 years (3 look-back years and 1 current year) for income/franchise tax.?
Minnesota will grant shorter lookback periods to the time when the marketplace seller created nexus.?
明尼蘇達(dá)州通常的針對(duì)銷售稅和使用稅的追隨期是3年,而針對(duì)所得稅和加盟稅則為4年(3年追溯期加現(xiàn)行的1年)
明尼蘇達(dá)州將給予電商平臺(tái)的賣家實(shí)際產(chǎn)生關(guān)聯(lián)時(shí)間更短的追隨期
Wisconsin will require payment of back tax liability and interest for the following lookback periods: for sale/use tax, commencing January 1, 2015; for income/franchise tax, including tax years 2015 and 2016.?
The Wisconsin lookback period will be limited to prior years during which the marketplace seller had nexus.?
威斯康星州則要求在追溯期內(nèi)納稅人恤繳納相應(yīng)的后繳稅費(fèi)及相應(yīng)的利息,而對(duì)于銷售稅/使用稅,則著手于2015年1月1日起包括2015年和2016年兩個(gè)稅務(wù)年內(nèi)的所得稅/加盟稅,其追溯時(shí)間將只限制于電商平臺(tái)賣家發(fā)生關(guān)聯(lián)之后的年份。
The States participating in this special time-limited voluntary disclosure initiative have agreed not to disclose to other taxing jurisdictions the identity of any taxpayer? entering into a voluntary disclosure agreement under this special time-limited initiative, except as required by law, pursuant to a court order, or in response to an inter-government exchange of information agreement in which the requesting entity provides the taxpayer’s name and taxpayer identification number.?
Blanket requests from other jurisdictions for the identity of such taxpayers will not be honored.?
除來法律要求以外,參與這次特別時(shí)間限制的自由披露計(jì)劃的各州一致同意無論是一份法庭的命令或根據(jù)一份政府內(nèi)部信息交換協(xié)議,都不再要求其他稅務(wù)司法管轄以核定任何參與本次特別自愿披露計(jì)劃的納稅人身份,或要求各州提供納稅人的姓名和稅務(wù)登記號(hào)碼。
美國跨境電商賣家變天在即,接回本篇開頭所提及的,美國本土賣家在合規(guī)經(jīng)營上比中國賣家更舍得投入,這詞的消息在中國賣家群體內(nèi)幾乎沒人注意到,我也是經(jīng)過JOHN提醒才發(fā)現(xiàn)這個(gè)事情。
在加州的拜訪基友的這幾天,我們也咨詢了包括本土品牌跨國貿(mào)易賣家、AICPA美國注冊(cè)會(huì)計(jì)師事務(wù)所合伙人和一些美國本土賣家對(duì)于這個(gè)問題的看法:
來自本土品牌跨國貿(mào)易賣家認(rèn)為:
美國的跨州銷售稅其實(shí)存在明顯的操作漏洞,即使是他們這樣的在美國做了十多年的跨州銷售,也還是最終采用了一個(gè)折中的方案。
我的基友AICPA美國注冊(cè)會(huì)計(jì)師事務(wù)所合伙人:
美國的電商跨州銷售稅問題,本身就是個(gè)方案簡(jiǎn)單但執(zhí)行困難的情況,即使在加州,不同的市郡縣都存在不同的銷售稅/使用稅問題。
有關(guān)美國稅務(wù)問題,我晚點(diǎn)給安排這個(gè)資深A(yù)ICPA給大家解答解答如何?
美國本土跨境品牌賣家:
美國人誰都敢得罪,就是不敢得罪IRS(美國國稅局),因?yàn)镮RS比FBI、CIA甚至NSA都要可怕,愿意參與本次的豁免計(jì)劃,總地來說,愿意參加的比例還挺高。
稅務(wù)豁免可以清洗掉一大批不受游戲規(guī)則的海外賣家,同時(shí)也能更好地支持品牌賣家的品牌戰(zhàn)略之路。
比如,我們?cè)谇那膬?nèi)測(cè)的美國本土消費(fèi)者新品測(cè)評(píng)視頻產(chǎn)品,就能更好地為賣家提供真實(shí)的消費(fèi)者體驗(yàn)視頻服務(wù)。
共同點(diǎn):
雖然本次的MTC領(lǐng)頭的電商稅務(wù)豁免計(jì)劃有各種操作上的困難,但是從長遠(yuǎn)來看,電商繳跨州銷售稅在美國是各州彌補(bǔ)即將推動(dòng)的稅改的一個(gè)有效增收方案,同時(shí)也配合特朗普總統(tǒng)對(duì)以高科技電商企業(yè)為代表的精英集團(tuán)施壓,看樣子除非美國這次的稅改有新的變化,這波席卷而來的電商繳稅浪潮也代表著電商正式被各國政府納入貢獻(xiàn)稅收的重大來源時(shí)代到來。
有關(guān)這次23個(gè)州+1個(gè)特別行政區(qū)在MTC 協(xié)調(diào)下向美國電商賣家開刀的影響,我將在明后天的第93篇中進(jìn)行一一分析分享。
