Upgraded Tax Supervision for Cross-border E-commerce, Full Platform Data Networking Audit
Starting July 2026, tax supervision for cross-border e-commerce will enter a phase of intelligent full-volume verification. The Golden Tax Phase IV system will connect with platforms like Amazon, Temu, and AliExpress, allowing for real-time comparison of transaction flows and logistics documents. The risks associated with tax-saving offshore models or personal account collections used by sellers have greatly increased, making compliance the baseline for survival.

What happened?
The new policy for cross-border e-commerce tax supervision allows customs, tax, foreign exchange, and mainstream e-commerce platforms to connect data end-to-end. Tax audits are shifting from random checks to regular, smart full-volume verification. Sellers need to face the challenges of inconsistent data across multiple platforms, and compliance reporting becomes a necessary condition for business operation.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
Tax compliance risks are extremely high; sellers must establish a standard financial accounting system to ensure that reporting data is consistent with platform transaction flows to avoid tax supplement and fines.
