E-commerce allows for global online transactions of any product. While e-commerce has benefits, it poses tax challenges for countries. Countries face difficulties in identifying e-commerce workers, tracking transactions, and obtaining documentation for deals. These obstacles can allow some to evade taxes and collect high profits without state knowledge. As e-commerce continues growing, countries must develop policies to regulate the activity and impose taxes that overcome these difficulties.

E-commerce is the process of buying and selling products using modern
electronic means such as mobile applications or the internet, and it is worth nothing that this term refers to online retail and electronic transactions as well.

already gone and started their own business and commercial activities, from selling their own goods and products, may face one of the biggest problems, which is the taxes resulting from any commercial activity, especially since the beginning of the trade which was not subject to tax control in large number of countries, which led some to record large profits without paying dues to the state , it was necessary to enact legislation and laws obligatory on electronic commerce to submit to the tax law, this had a significant impact on them and their profits, and many countries, according to their tax on owners of electronic stores that depend on the source and value of income and place of residence; the challenges and difficulties facing these countries are still present in several matters; the most important ones are as follow:
Difficulty in identifying workers in e-commerce.
Difficulty in tracking many of the commercial transactions made through electronic intermediaries. Absence of papers or documents proving and documenting commercial transactions and deals. The spread of time and the wide spread of buying and selling operations that take place through electronic stores and the lack of tax laws control over them.
These obstacles had an impact on countries and their economic acceleration, as
there are many who evade paying their tax dues and collecting high profits without the knowledge of the state, and here is the mention of small electronic stores; as the large capitals, which belong to companies located on the ground, are obligated in return, to pay the taxes incurred on them, and there is no way to evade them.
