Multinational home marketing fell into the deep valley

It is a matter of course for consumers to purchase invoices, but nowadays, furniture merchants do not open formal invoices or can not issue invoices for free, which has almost become the norm. The reporter visited a number of home stores in the city, and the reply was that the furniture and building materials industries did not invoice, and the price indicated was not tax-included. If the consumer still asks for an invoice, some merchants will ask the customer to pay an additional 4% - 5% tax. In order to save money, many people have chosen to compromise.

The relevant national laws and regulations stipulate that consumers ask for invoices from merchants after consumption, and merchants are obliged to provide invoices, and must provide them. Otherwise, it is a tax evasion behavior that deliberately conceals the true sales amount. In this regard, consumers can call 12366 or log on to the Shenzhen State Taxation Bureau website to report. Lawyers also reminded consumers that if they do not issue invoices, it will be difficult to implement rights protection in the event of quality problems in the future.

Home store invoices must pay taxes and fees

The citizen Wang Minqing intends to marry the "11". Before that, she and her prospective husband almost ran through the large and small home stores in Luohu and Futian, and purchased building materials and furniture for the love nest. A few months of "shopping" down, spent six or seventy thousand yuan, but she found that no one door (decoration renderings) shop or store is to invoice, she can only get the "receipt", "received Receipts and other documents.

“In the hotel, shopping malls and other places to consume, invoicing is a matter of course. Why is it so difficult to buy furniture to invoice?” Wang Minqing said.

Recently, the reporter visited the brand stores in the market, such as Red Star Macalline and Hundred Years of the Century Center, and consulted the staff at the service desk. The reporter found that the phenomenon of not invoicing exists in the furniture industry to varying degrees, and many merchants choose to issue receipts as proof of consumption or warranty.

If consumers insist on invoicing, they will be required to pay taxes. For example, in the purchase of furniture in some brands of Red Star Macalline, the tax rate for invoicing is 4.26%. Some brand stores that are stationed in the company's name are directly invoiced by the brand; in Jinhaima Home, office furniture is invoiced by Jin Haima free of charge. If it is self-use furniture, the consumer will communicate with the brand store to pay the taxes and fees. This problem also exists in other large stores.

"Office furniture stores are self-operated, so if you buy them, you can directly invoice. And the home store is the brand store that comes back from the investment, so the invoices must pay taxes and fees." Jin Haima staff said.

Want a discount or an invoice?

The situation in the business is similar. Only a small number of merchants indicated that they could be sold at a discounted price and offered an invoice for free. However, the sales staff all said that there is no habit of invoicing, and most of them are to open receipts as “vouchers”, and consumers who use furniture themselves basically do not ask for invoices.

"Miss, you can rest assured, there is no credibility, it is done in this line. We will give you a receipt with a product warranty card, which has the company's contact information and contacts. Once you find that the product has quality problems, you can always find us. "Red Star Macalline brand sales staff said.

The reporter insisted on invoices, and the merchant’s statement was consistent with the store’s statement, saying that if you want to issue an invoice, you will pay more. "The furniture and building materials industries are not invoiced, and the marked price is also tax-free." A solid wood brand salesperson in a hundred years said that if the bill is invoiced, consumers will have to pay 5% more.

When the reporter showed dissatisfaction, the salesperson made a generous intention to make a profit, and bear the taxes and fees that the reporter needs to pay, but the price is that the discount should be raised, that is, the furniture price is slightly more expensive. In the same way, if you do not invoice, you can make a profit. "If it is for personal use, there is no need to invoice, so the price can be much cheaper." The salesperson directly proposed.

The reporter interviewed more than ten citizens in various stores and asked them to purchase homes with no invoices. Almost all of the respondents said they did not have this habit, and they also knew the "hidden rules" of the furniture market. Once the ticket was requested, the price would increase. In this case, they accepted it in order to save money.

The public Li Hong calculated an account and purchased a set of four sets of bedrooms (renovation renderings), which cost about 13,000 yuan. If you want to add 5% tax point, you only need to spend 650 yuan to pay taxes." This is not a small amount. Anyway, the merchant has opened a receipt and a warranty certificate.

The industry said that Mo is lost for the small money

Why are the furniture industry particularly reluctant to invoice?

As mentioned by the Jinhaima staff, the home store is often composed of many brand stores. The store is only responsible for unified management, and each store is an independent taxpayer. This point has also been confirmed from the mouth of the Red Star Macalline staff. The staff said that they invoiced some brands and paid taxes for the merchants, and this part of the expenses was borne by the consumers. As a result, less invoices or no invoicing, store dealers are naturally the biggest beneficiaries.

"The market competition is so fierce. We basically sell furniture at a cost price and earn a few hundred yuan. The labor is getting more and more expensive, and the profit is getting lower and lower. It is a last resort to not invoice." A Shenzhen brand furniture store manager said.

Most of the respondents are puzzled. Why are the taxes and fees that merchants must pay, and consumers should "pay the bills"?

In this regard, furniture company representatives are not willing to say more. A representative of a furniture company interviewed said that the habit of buying and selling furniture is generally that consumers don’t give the full amount when they buy it, but pay a part of the deposit first, and then all the goods are delivered after the goods are delivered. “In this way, the merchant only needs After the receipt of the receipt or delivery note to the consumer, after the balance is collected, few consumers will return to the store to request an invoice, and they can evade the tax without invoicing, thus lowering the selling price of the furniture."

"There are some dealers who open dealers, and some are privately contracted. The pursuit is to maximize profits. In fact, the merchants use the tax increase method to let consumers automatically give up the invoices," the representative of the company said.

During the interview, several representatives of the companies interviewed said that there is no loss to consumers without invoicing. “We reduce costs, and consumers can buy furniture at a cheaper price. Moreover, after-sales service will not be less.”

However, some people in the industry have suggested that consumers should still ask for invoices if possible. "If the store is withdrawn or relocated, who are you looking for with the receipt?"

Consumers do not need to pay for tax evasion for merchants

Consumption tips

Regarding whether the consumer should bear the tax increase added by invoicing, lawyer Wang Hongchao said that the tax is the fee paid by the merchant as the taxpayer according to the total amount of business, and should not be borne by the consumer. The invoice is not only a voucher for taxation by the tax authorities, but also an important certificate for safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of consumers. It must be “true” for the invoice. As a consumer, you should take the initiative to ask for invoices to enhance awareness of rights protection and tax protection.

The Municipal State Taxation Bureau stated that it is a violation of the "Invoice Management Measures of the People's Republic of China" that the business does not give invoices, and it is a tax evasion behavior that deliberately conceals the true sales amount. According to Article 63 of the Tax Administration Law, "If a taxpayer evades taxes, the tax authorities shall recover the taxes or late fees that they do not pay or pay less, and the taxes that are not paid or underpaid shall be more than 50%. a fine of not more than five times; if it constitutes a crime, it shall be investigated for criminal responsibility according to law."
