Do I need a business license to open a Taobao shop in Chongqing?

Legal analysis: If you are an individual seller, then you don't need a business license. This is also one of the reasons why Taobao is easy to open a shop at present. If an enterprise wants to open a shop in Taobao, it needs to show its business license in the enterprise certification stage of Taobao, which means that the enterprise store mainly displays its business license information in Taobao shop for Taobao buyers to check. If the Taobao buyer has a business license in a physical store, but has passed the personal verification link on Taobao, the Taobao seller does not need to display his business license information at this time. Regarding the information about whether to pay taxes, whether it is an individual online store or an enterprise online store, there is no need to pay taxes for the time being, and relevant policies are being adjusted.

Legal basis: Electronic Commerce Law of the People's Republic of China.

Article 10 E-commerce operators shall register market entities according to law. However, unless individuals sell their own agricultural and sideline products and household handicraft products, individuals do not need to obtain permission according to law, nor do they need to register according to laws and administrative regulations.

Eleventh e-commerce operators should fulfill their tax obligations and enjoy tax preferences according to law. An e-commerce operator who does not need to register as a market entity according to the provisions of the preceding article shall, after the first tax payment obligation occurs, go through the tax registration in accordance with the provisions of laws and administrative regulations on tax collection management and truthfully declare and pay taxes.
