Shanghai Xunmeng Information Technology Co., Ltd., the operator of the Pinduoduo platform, has been fined approximately $14,000 by local tax authorities for failing to submit tax-related information in accordance with China’s regulations for internet platform enterprises, the Shanghai Changning District Tax Bureau said on Tuesday. The bureau said that after the “Regulations on Tax-Related Information Reporting by Internet Platform Enterprises” came into effect in 2025, Pinduoduo failed to report the tax information of merchants and employees on its platform for the third quarter of 2025. The authorities issued a correction notice in November 2025, requiring the company to submit the information within a specified period. While Pinduoduo has since made corrections, it did not complete the submission within the deadline. The tax bureau said the fine was imposed in accordance with relevant laws and regulations.
