After export through an agent, when filing taxes, first, it is necessary to distinguish whether the principal is a manufacturing enterprise or a foreign trade enterprise. If the principal is a manufacturing enterprise, the "exemption, credit, and refund" tax method is generally implemented. After the goods are exported and sold in the financial records, within the specified declaration period, collect relevant vouchers and declare to the competent tax authority for the "exemption, credit, and refund" of value - added tax on exported goods and the refund of consumption tax.
If the principal is a foreign trade enterprise, the "levy first and then refund" method is implemented. That is, first levy taxes at the tax rate specified in the Interim Regulations on Value - Added Tax, and then the tax authority in charge of export tax rebates approves the tax rebate at the specified tax - refund rate within the national export tax - rebate plan.
In terms of preparing materials, generally, an agency export agreement, export goods declaration form, export invoice, etc. are required. Compared with self - export tax filing, special attention should be paid to communication and cooperation with the agent to ensure the timely and accurate transfer of various vouchers. At the same time, pay attention to the acquisition and use of the agency export certificate.
