US retailers take aim at
Alibaba over tax ‘loophole’ -------------- Alibaba is taking on
Amazon’s habitual role as public enemy number one for traditional US retailers,
after being dragged into a political fight over a tax exemption for online
sales. Bricks-and-mortar retailers – which have spent years attacking Amazon for
profiting from what they call a sales tax loophole – have turned their fire on
Alibaba by launching a new advertisement warning that the Chinese ecommerce
group will be the next
beneficiary. 阿里巴巴被指将利用美销售税漏洞 -------------- 在卷入一场有关电商免税的政治争斗之后,阿里巴巴(Alibaba)接手了通常由亚马逊(Amazon)扮演的角色,成为美国传统零售商的头号公敌。实体店零售商多年来一直攻击亚马逊获利于它们所称的销售税漏洞。现在它们将炮火对准了阿里巴巴,并发布新的广告警告称,这家中国电商集团将是下一个受益者。
