Recently, Amazon and other domestic and foreign e-commerce platforms have “exploded” the Chinese cross-border e-commerce industry by initiating the filing of tax-related information by Chinese sellers. According to a notice issued by Amazon, starting in October 2025, Amazon will submit information on Chinese sellers to the Chinese tax authorities on a quarterly basis, including seller status, transaction volume, revenue, and commission and service charges. Amazon also mentioned that the platform will submit its first quarterly information before October 31, 2025, covering the third quarter of 2025. The reporter learned from the industry that many cross-border sellers have already received tax self-inspection text messages from tax authorities, and third-party consulting agencies have also frequently received inquiries from cross-border sellers about countermeasures. This means that the tax system has been connected to data from internet platforms, the long-standing tax loopholes of some cross-border e-commerce companies will be closed, and the curtain of industry compliance development will slowly begin.
