Q1, why is there an error in the shipment?
A1, if you use ERP to deliver the goods and report an error, I suggest you check
Q2. Will collection and collection affect merchants' off-commodity pricing?
A2. At present, it will not be. The platform displays the payment of taxes and fees separately at the consumer payment stage, and will not go through the merchant account for the time being. If there is any adjustment, we will be notified separately.
Q3. Do we still need to register VAT after the platform collects and pays on behalf of others?
A3. If you only ship goods from outside the EU (e.g. China) to EU buyers across borders, you do not need to register VAT numbers; if you store inventory in EU countries, you still need to register VAT IDs in the storage country.
Q4. After being collected and paid on behalf of others, do merchants still need to declare value-added tax?
A4. Inventory distribution from outside the EU to buyers within the EU: No;
Inventory stored from EU countries is sent to EU countries: the current VAT declaration requirements will continue to apply. Whether the transaction is withheld or not, you still need to complete the corresponding VAT declaration as required. Overseas warehouse merchants can refer to the "Platform European to Overseas Warehouse VAT Requirements Announcement" issued in March.
Q5. Under what circumstances will the order be collected and collected on behalf of others?
A5. For B2C buyers located in the European Union, the cross-border sales value does not exceed 150 euros, which is the platform collects VAT on behalf of the ordering process, so AliExpress is responsible for collecting VAT from relevant consumers in the country where its receiving address is located in accordance with the EU tax law and declaring and paying it to the relevant tax bureaus;
For goods over 150 euros, customs still levy value-added tax and customs duties at the time of import, and the platform does not collect and collect on behalf of others.
Q6. Doesn't the seller in the European Union where the company is registered do not need to be collected and paid on behalf of others?
A6. No. Local sellers registered in the EU where the company is registered in the EU distribute inventory from outside the EU to the EU. The value of the shipment is less than or equal to €150, and the platform will also collect and pay its value-added tax on its behalf.

Consolidated shipment
A consumer places multiple orders at the same time, and cannot deliver goods together, resulting in different orders receiving times. How to solve them?

Consolidated shipment
Why can't merchants share orders by themselves, and the combination of orders on the platform will not be affected?
The two are not the same concept. The platform's joint order plan arises when consumers place orders, which is essentially an order; the merchant's spontaneous order is generated by the logistics link after the consumer transaction, which is essentially two orders.

Cross-border order platforms under 150 euros for individual buyers will collect and pay VAT on behalf of others. After tax reform, the shipping rules will restrict consolidated delivery. If the secondary taxation problem arising from violations requires the merchant to bear it.

The inventory of overseas warehouses has been paid customs duties and imported VAT. Why does the platform have to withhold and pay? Is tax paid repeatedly? How can merchants refund taxes?

The value-added tax you pay in the import link can be refunded to the tax bureau in accordance with the law, which will not cause duplicate taxation on the value-added tax. The documents that may need to be used for import value-added tax refund include your transaction details ( AliExpress sales information can be downloaded in the background), customs declaration documents imported with your tax number, etc. For details, please consult your tax consultant. You can also further find out from your tax adviser whether you can apply for import VAT deferred treatment to optimize the cash flow of import VAT.
