Do I have to pay shopping tax when traveling abroad? What's the ratio?

Reminder 1:

It's best not to buy anything too expensive.

According to Announcement No.54, if an inbound resident passenger carries articles for personal use exceeding RMB 5,000, which are verified by the customs as personal use, the customs will only levy taxes on the articles for personal use; For an indivisible single project, the tax is levied in full. Simply put, it's best not to buy anything too high-end. Cosmetics are also the "main" commodities that many people buy abroad. If you buy a pile of cosmetics worth 8,000 yuan, you can deduct the exemption amount of 5,000 yuan before calculating the tax, that is, (8,000-5,000) x? Tax rate. But if you buy a big-name bag worth 9,000 yuan, you can't enjoy the tax-free quota of 5,000 yuan, but you are taxed in full, that is, 9,000 yuan? x？ Tax rate.

Reminder 2:

Observe "subsection" taxation

Brand-name watches are also one of the goods that many people like to buy when they go abroad. It should be reminded that the tax rate of watches is not low, and it is "segmented".

If the price of watches is between 5000 yuan and 1 10,000 yuan, it will be taxed at the rate of 20%; If the price of watches exceeds 1000 yuan, it will be taxed at the rate of 30%.

Some are taxed according to the tax rate, and some are fixed tax. For example, the popular iPad is a fixed tax. Although its price is less than 5000 yuan, because it belongs to microcomputer, it must pay a fixed tax of 1 000 yuan when entering customs.

Reminder 3:

It is important to keep the "invoice"

Most people who go shopping abroad are "big names", and the price gap between domestic and foreign "big names" is also relatively large. When the customs collects taxes, which price shall prevail? For details, please visit the website of the General Administration of Customs and search for the Classification Table of Import Tax Tariffs for Luggage and Personal Postal Articles of Entry Passengers and the Duty Paid Price List for Luggage and Personal Postal Articles of Entry Passengers. When the customs examines and approves the duty-paid price, the overseas purchase certificate is an important reference material, and passengers had better provide it. If the passenger can't provide proof of the price purchased overseas, the customs officers will take the domestic price as the standard. If the tax is levied on this basis, it will be too uneconomical for the passenger.

Reminder 4:

You should also declare what you take out.

The valuables brought in need to be taxed, so don't forget to declare them in the relevant window when you take out the valuables such as cameras and laptops bought in China.

Some passengers left the country with valuables such as cameras and laptops, and failed to declare them in time. As a result, they will face the embarrassment of being taxed when they enter the country. After inspection by customs inspectors, it shall be calculated according to relevant prices and tax rates.

When leaving the country, you should also take the initiative to declare valuables exceeding 5,000 yuan, such as cameras and laptops, in order to obtain the declaration form as a tax-free certificate when entering the country.
