China fines Pinduoduo operator for failure to submit tax data

Chinese tax authorities fined the operator of e-commerce platform Pinduoduo 100,000 yuan ($14,000) for failing to submit required tax-related information, according to the State Taxation Administration on Wednesday.

The STA said that it issued a rectification order in November 2025, instructing the company to correct the violation within a specified period. Although the company later took steps to address the issue, it did not complete the rectification within the required timeframe, it said.

China launched regulations in 2025 requiring online platform companies to report tax-related information concerning merchants and workers operating on their platforms.
