1. the impact on the main body of trade
E-commerce in the field of international trade is widely used, resulting in a large number of products or services to the world market “virtual” enterprises. This virtual organization by a lot of companies and enterprises cross-united to form a cooperative organization in order to complete as a company, enterprise difficult to assume the market-oriented functions.
In terms of functions and effects, its role has greatly exceeded that of individual companies and enterprises in the past, and it can even expand rapidly on a global scale, but in terms of capital relations it does not have the power to force individual companies and enterprises to associate, but has some kind of entity because it has assumed certain information functions.
For multinational companies strategic alliances means to take this kind of virtual organization as its main form of expression, it is the use of open system dynamic network to combine the search for resources and alliances, so as to achieve a “virtual business” in response to the ever-changing competitive environment of the market economy and the new trend of development of consumer demand in the direction of individualization and diversification. The trend
2. Changes in trade costs
Any subject involved in trade, whether it is the production enterprise or intermediary platform in the trade will consciously participate in the product circulation, from this point of view the two sides of the trade is not only with technical material products to meet the market, but also the use of packaging, transportation and marketing activities to achieve the value of the product So such a process of cost control is essential to maintain a profitable means of enterprises to reduce the demand for profits has never ceased
The emergence of e-commerce soon received wide recognition from both sides of the trade, precisely because of its obvious role in cost savings the emergence of e-commerce to expand the horizons of international trade enterprises, the demand for trade enterprises can obtain information through a wide range of Internet, and through the trading platform to provide advice to ensure that the reliability of information, and then with the help of e-commerce to achieve face-to-face with the other side of the trade Get in touch and achieve direct inspection Traditional documents and information formed by both sides of the transaction are tens of thousands, and the cost of text in such transactions has been outrageously high
So the data nature of electronic trade has become an important means of saving this expense The electronicization of documents and information can obviously save the cost of paper documents, but also facilitate the exchange of documents between the two sides in the negotiation For some critical documents electronicization also improves the degree of confidentiality.
3. The impact on trade taxation
The main impact of the emergence of e-commerce economy on international trade taxation is reflected in the following aspects.
(1) the location of the transaction to the taxation of the basic standards of taxation is mainly based on the local taxation system, e-commerce support of international trade its way to determine the transaction occurs on the network, the location of the transaction can not be accurately divided, thus creating an embarrassment that can not determine the transaction of the tax should have who to collect Some people have measured, because the transaction location constraints are unreasonable The amount of tax evasion accounts for 18% or more of the tax revenue of e-commerce transactions.
(2) It is difficult for the taxation department to accurately understand the details of the transaction and related information. The standard of taxation is the accounts and vouchers of the transaction.
Countermeasures and suggestions for the development of e-commerce in China
1. Speed up the construction of information infrastructure
Vigorously promote the informationization of enterprises, the application and development of e-commerce in a country is very dependent on the complete information infrastructure in the country. From the current point of view, 80% of the sales amount of e-commerce in the world occurs in the United States, and the reason why the United States has achieved such a dominant position in the competition is inseparable from its high investment in capital and technology and the construction of a complete information infrastructure.
At present, in the United States has been basically built by the underground fiber optic cable, submarine fiber optic cable and communications satellites are composed of the trinity of land, sea and air high-speed network communications. The development and promotion of e-commerce in some European countries is also synchronized with the construction of its information infrastructure. Enterprises are the important subject of the implementation of e-commerce, the necessary guarantee of the development of e-commerce is that enterprises can proactively participate in one.
2. Change the concept to meet the challenges of the network era
Along with the rapid development of science and technology, especially under the rapid renewal of information technology, the network era is no longer a new thing for everyone. Network in the development of human society will certainly cause a relatively large impact on the political, cultural, economic and ideological aspects of life, which we often encounter in the current reality, for enterprises, the network is not new, but for enterprise information technology, to be fully realized in domestic enterprises, there is still a big gap.
This requires us to integrate into the global digital competition as soon as possible, only then do we have the opportunity to participate in the rapid operation of the global economy and share the huge benefits brought by the international division of labor. We must make full use of various means to vigorously promote the important position and role of network information flowers in the future economic competition within enterprises and industries, promote the leadership of enterprises to change their concepts as soon as possible, pay full attention to the development of network trade activities, and build a new trend to promote the development of network trade.
3. Strengthen the research and formulation of laws and regulations
(1) Further improve the construction of China’s laws, regulations, policies, taxes and other aspects of network trade, improve investment, and inject fresh blood into the competitiveness of foreign trade e-commerce.
(2) Proactively participate in the development of international standards and cooperation activities, the rapid convergence of the international market.
(3) Integrate into the global online payment system as soon as possible, improve the efficiency of cross-border circulation of funds, study the compatibility and coordination of various banks in the online payment system, and establish and implement comprehensive solutions for inter-bank and cross-border online payments.
4. Actively participate in international cooperation and dialogue
E-commerce is like a galaxy that breaks the boundaries of space and time and rapidly enhances the process of global economic integration. Faced with a series of new issues brought by e-commerce such as tariffs and taxes, unified commercial codes, intellectual property protection, etc., various countries have strengthened their dialogues and cooperation.
We must take the initiative to absorb and learn the mature experience of foreign development, and gradually develop and expand the e-commerce business of our enterprises. For example, for China’s communication infrastructure is still relatively weak, security technology is relatively poor, can fully use foreign e-commerce technology and infrastructure, to develop international business.
In fact, these dialogue activities will not only directly affect the introduction and formulation of new trade rules under the conditions of e-commerce, but also determine the distribution of interests among different countries and regions, and can effectively strengthen the cooperation and communication among countries and improve the international level of e-commerce in each country.
