According to the news of the website of the legal office of the State Council yesterday, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce has studied and drafted the Interim Measures for the management of trade in network commodities and related services (Soliciting Comments).

The regulations stipulate that natural persons who engage in commodity trading and related services through the Internet shall apply to the operators providing network paction platform services and submit their real names and addresses.

This means that online shop must be registered in real name.

But the reporter looked at the "measures" found that there is no mandatory industrial and commercial registration.

The twentieth provision of the measures stipulates that operators who provide network trading platform services shall examine the status of the legal persons, other economic organizations or natural persons who apply for goods or services through the network trading platform.

And reporters on Taobao Wangwang, and a number of online sellers to communicate.

Most of them express their understanding of the practice of "real name registration".

"I used to register with real names, but in fact, there is nothing to worry about with real names, so long as they operate in good faith."

Real name registration is indeed good for cracking down on online sales, but if the next tax policy is implemented, it may have some impact on the profitability of online stores.
