伦敦，10月28日——英国财政大臣约翰·希利周三表示，他将要求网络交易平台负责代在其平台上销售的零售商征收应缴的增值税（VAT）。
UK's Healey to make online marketplaces collect tax from sellers LONDON, Oct 28 - British finance minister John Healey said on Wednesday he would make online marketplaces responsible for collecting value added tax (VAT) owed by retailers selling on their platforms.
希利在向议会发表预算演讲时说：“我将加强对网络交易平台的要求，使卖家无法在网上销售时逃避缴纳增值税。”
"I will strengthen the requirements for online marketplaces so that sellers cannot avoid paying VAT when they sell online," Healey said in his budget speech to parliament.
这一变化意味着，亚马逊、eBay、Temu、Shein和阿里巴巴等网络交易平台将负责征收卖家在其网站上销售商品所产生的增值税。
The change means that online marketplaces, such as Amazon, eBay, Temu, Shein and Alibaba, will become responsible for collecting the VAT which is charged on sales by sellers on their sites.
财政部表示，这项将于2027年10月起实施的变化旨在打击增值税逃税，并通过帮助确保依法纳税的企业不会被逃税企业以低价挤压，从而支持公平竞争。
The finance ministry said the change, to be implemented from October 2027, is designed to tackle VAT evasion and support competition by helping ensure businesses that pay the tax they owe are not undercut by those that do not.
该规定将适用于已进行增值税登记、或在单个网络交易平台上销售额超过9万英镑（12万美元）的英国企业。
The rules will apply to UK businesses that are VAT registered or make sales of more than £90,000 ($120,000) on an individual online marketplace.
希利表示，所筹集的收入将用于为实体店削减商业房产税提供资金。
Healey said revenue raised would help fund business rate cuts for physical stores.
