Is the Era of High Profits from Export Tax Rebates Coming to an End?

Recently, the finance department of Mr. Zhang's foreign trade company has been extremely busy. It turns out that they have just received a notice from the tax bureau that there have been significant adjustments to the latest export tax rebate policy. "This change came faster than expected," Ms. Zhang sighed at an industry exchange meeting. "If we don't keep up in a timely manner, we may lose profits in the six - figure range."

This adjustment mainly involves three aspects:

• Dynamic Adjustment Mechanism of Tax Rebate Rates: Establish a floating tax rebate rate linked to industry prosperity, with a maximum of 17% for high - tech products
• Digital Declaration Process: Nationally implement "paperless + intelligent document review", shortening the average processing time to 5 working days
• Special Support for Cross - border E - commerce: Implement a "report - and - refund - immediately" pilot for transactions under supervision codes such as 9610 and 9710

The tax consulting team of Zhongshitong recommends:

• Immediately verify the matching table between the commodity HS code and the latest tax rebate rate
• Upgrade the financial system to connect to the API interface of the electronic tax bureau
• Retain a complete logistics track and electronic transaction voucher chain

Ms. Li's company had its tax rebate postponed last year due to these details:

• The commodity names on the customs declaration form and the value - added tax invoice are inconsistent
• The consignee information on the ocean bill of lading differs from the declared entity
• No special indication was made for cross - year declarations

Industry insiders revealed that the following may be introduced in the next step:

• Use blockchain technology to store evidence of the entire chain of tax rebate vouchers
• Establish a bilateral tax rebate data exchange mechanism with major trading countries
• Implement a stepped tax rebate incentive for green export products
