Over the weekends, sea peddlers and surrogates were extremely indifferent, along with information about the circle of friends, the unbridled customs, airport taxes, withholdings, etc., which affected the scavengers and even shocked the treasury
In response to rumours such as “twenty thousand dollars in exemption for out-of-country purchases” and “one dollar in tax for out-of-country purchases”, the ministry of finance yesterday stated that: “irrespective of travel abroad and family visits, the amount of 5,000 yuan in exemption for personal baggage goods at the time of return has not changed; if more than 5,000 yuan is considered to be self-service, it is only partially taxed; and undivided items are taxed in full。
How many rumors are there on the internet
Rumors
Are tourists more likely to throw away goods than pay taxes
Truth: customs routine counts
On the first day of the new regulation, a photograph of “putong airport is inundated with untaxed goods” was found on the internet, alleging that airport customs checks were carried out individually and that many people were reluctant to raise taxes for fishing goods. In response, the customs authorities have also been quick to rumour that this is a routine count and not a “new deal”。
Rumors
He's also detained by the customs
Truth: old pictures taken in france
The actor huang-soo also made the headlines this time. I'd rather cry and throw it than pay taxes! The micro-letter article entitled “customs halls turned into dumps” on the first day of the new deal, which was later discovered by netizens, was also a false news, and the photograph contained the words “paris”. It turns out that this picture is a photo of huang ying from a french airport a few years ago。
Rumors
All commodities are fully taxed and exempt
Truth: the new deal is not fully covered
With the introduction of the new tax system, a large number of new regulations have made the conditions of entry tax more complex and lower thresholds. As a result, many netizens have been told that “full tax payments” and “no tax exemptions” would be made. In fact, tax exemptions still exist for ordinary tourists。
According to the new regulations, “the amount of tax-exempt purchases, together with the amount of tax-exempt purchases outside the country, shall be increased by a certain amount to the amount of the tax-exempt purchases allowed at the port of entry, on the same basis as the tax-exempt limits of 5,000 yuan for passengers entering the country.” in other words, foreign purchases + domestic tax-exempt purchases may be exempted if they do not exceed 8,000 yuan, of which the offshore purchases do not exceed 5,000 yuan。
Whether it is a cross-border electrician or a direct mail post abroad, items brought by individuals with a total value of not more than $5,000, and items with a tax value of not more than $50, remain exempt from tax, without any “full payment”。
Rumors
You have to open a box through customs
Truth: customs is busy too
On 8 april, the phrase “all boxes open and checked” was transmitted in large numbers as internet users posted their “personal experience”。
Others, however, later posted “unopened” experiences and maps, with rumours of self-defeating. There's another post from the customs staff saying there's no time to open all the boxes: "we're busy too!"
Rumors
Have any passengers been detained by customs and tortured to extract confessions
Truth: no recent cases
At around 11 p. M. On the night of 8 august, a friend of the internet announced in his friends ' circle what happened to him when he was detained and tortured by the customs. As soon as the news came out, a large number of netizens called for customs, but there was no other evidence to support the source。
On 9 september, journalists confirmed from customs that no similar cases had been filed in the recent past。
The rumour is complete, and we've seen it。
Which are the main targets of the new deal
The first day of the new deal was accompanied by rumours about the latest "sea-pike" campaigns, and what would it cost? What could be cheap? So, how do we do this back? But let's look at what the new deal is about。
This new deal applies mainly to cross-border electricians, such as skycat international and icola. Prior to the new deal, a stamp duty was imposed on seafood items。
What is a postage tax? In short, a postage tax is a short form of an import tax on baggage and postal goods and an import tax imposed by customs on baggage and personal mail items of passengers entering the country。
Under the new deal, cross-border electricians, including skycats international, kyoto global purchase, net koala, little red book, etc., are subject to customs duties and import chain value-added tax and excise tax on goods。
According to the circular of the ministry of finance of 24 march, “the single transaction value of goods imported into retail electronic commerce across borders is rmb 2,000 and the individual annual transaction limit is rmb 20,000. "it means that you can't get more than $2,000 for a sea plow, or zero tariffs. Likewise, if you buy more than $20,000 a year, you have to pay the full tax. Prior to the new deal, the single transaction limit had been set at $1,000, and the amount has now been eased。
The tariff rate is temporarily set at 0 per cent for the retailing of electronic commerce imports within the limit value, noting that this is not tax-exempt and that, in addition to tariffs, goods are subject to value-added tax, plus excise taxes on tobacco, alcohol, cosmetics, cars, high-end watches, etc。
Value added tax (vat) on imports, excise tax elimination. Before the new deal, sea-crop commodities were not subject to these taxes, which amounted to a “net-free state”, but the new deal blocked this。
So how do you collect taxes on personal goods that are not retail imports of cross-border e-commerce? According to a circular from the ministry of finance, the retail import of personal goods that are not part of cross-border e-commerce, as well as the retail import of goods that cannot be provided with electronic information, will continue to be implemented in accordance with existing regulations. The country will adjust its post tax policy in tandem with the current four-tier tax line (reciprocal rates of 10 per cent, 20 per cent, 30 per cent and 50 per cent respectively) to the third tranche, with rates of 15 per cent, 30 per cent and 60 per cent for items 1, 2 and 3 respectively。
There are two types of retail items that do not belong to a cross-border electrician: personal items and direct mail overseas. The personal effects include those you brought in your suitcases or from friends of your foreign relatives。
In both cases, the stamp duty continues to apply, except for adjustments in tax rates. The figures are as follows:
Essentially, the 10 per cent tax rate was raised to 15 per cent for items previously subject to the 10 per cent tax rate; the 20 per cent tax rate was increased to 30 per cent; and the remaining two tranches, 30 per cent and 50 per cent, were increased directly to 60 per cent。
It should be particularly recalled that cosmetics were previously taxed at 50 per cent and that the new regulation increased the amount of makeup such as lipstick, eye shadows, mascara, etc. To 60 per cent, while skin-care items such as cream, eye cream, skin water, etc. Were reduced to 30 per cent. If a seller told you everything was going up, it might be that he took advantage of it. Don't be fooled。
Iii. Are all cross-border electrician goods subject to price increases
The tax on powdered milk and diapers has increased, and most cosmetics have become cheaper。
The new regulations have actually increased and decreased the prices of cross-border electrician goods, and have not been across the board。
In the case of cosmetics, for example, if you buy a $1,000 cosmetics on a cross-border electrician's web site, you will have to pay a post tax of 50 per cent or $500, whereas the new regulations require a 30 per cent excise tax on cosmetics and a 17 per cent vat on cosmetics, which, when collected at 70 per cent, is ultimately $329 less。
However, in the past, hot mother and child products such as milk powder and paper diapers, which had hardly been taxed, increased by about 11. 9 per cent under the new tax system. In the case of infant milk powder, for example, 200 dollars of milk powder is taxed at the previous 10 per cent post tax rate, but no tax is paid because the point of entry has not been reached. Under the new regulations, vat is paid for goods purchased. The milk powder value added tax rate is 17 per cent and is levied at 70 per cent for 11. 9 per cent. Thus, the purchase of $200 of milk powder is subject to an additional $23. 8 tax (no excise tax on infant milk powder) compared to the previous ones。
Four: small technique helps the hand-scratching clan
For overseas shopping parties, it is certainly the best way to avoid paying taxes in a reasonable manner, sharing a few small strategies:
1. Travel with relatives and friends with lower shopping needs can be shared. After all, at the current rate, taxes and fees may be on the korean plane。
Take a chestnut and six people go to korea, and five of these girls have a desire to shop on 3000 soys. The 6th man can use the remaining amount of the 5 others (8000-3000) x 5 or 25,000! Plus his own 8,000, the sixth person could actually buy 32,000 items。
In fact, normal human brain circuits can also be assumed to be largely impossible for girls like the top map. Because no woman can control a tax-free store
The burden of sharing may fall on your father, your client, your uncle..
Upon departure from customs, guests who are unknown to the flight may be asked to carry you through the customs premises。
It's safe and self-righteous! It's a good choice to find a seemingly successful elite gentleman。
When you get back, you put your name tag on and put everything you can on your body。
You're out of here in a rag
Go home with dignity
Customs doesn't know what you look like when you're out of the house, learn how to wear them, new hats, sunglasses, scarfs, clothes, shoes, and make yourself look like you're going to the shed to make a big show。
Four, of course, and here's the last trick
That's:
If you want to avoid taxes, you can buy them
