VI.Main body of e-commerce business
- E-commerce parent company:
The parent company (Taiwan company) directly acts as a cross-border e-commerce operator. Due to the rapid changes in cross-border business, it is necessary to pay attention to foreign exchange regulations and the definition of taxation and taxation for overseas e-commerce.
Taking Taiwan as an example, according to the regulations of the Ministry of Finance, foreign profit-making institutions that do not have a fixed business place and business agent in Taiwan, such as cross-border sales of electronic labor services to enterprises in Taiwan, the remuneration obtained is Article 88 of the Income Tax Act.
For the income with the prescribed withholding scope, the withholding agent shall withhold the tax at the prescribed withholding rate according to the payment amount at the time of payment. The general tax rate for the payment of electronic labor services to overseas companies is 20%. - Offshore companies:
When conducting cross-border e-commerce business, how to avoid the local country withholding taxes on electronic labor remittances? The offshore company can be directly used as the applicant of the overseas e-commerce business so that when paying the relevant overseas electronic labor fees because the non-local withholding agent is not the local withholding agent, the withholding problem of the remittance can be avoided when remittance.
Both enterprises and individual entrepreneurs can apply for an offshore company and open an account in an overseas bank. In this way, the funds can be operated flexibly, and with cross-border e-commerce operations, a business can be done even without a local entity company (currently only China requires cross-border e-commerce. Overseas e-commerce operators need to have domestic responsible persons, and other countries have not yet required it.) Gradually enter the market of various countries, and plan whether to establish a local entity according to market conditions in the future.
