To handle tax refunds through export agents, first of all, you need to find a professional and reliable agency, such as Zhongshitong. Sign an agency agreement to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties.
Then, the export enterprise should prepare relevant documents, such as customs declarations, export sales invoices, purchase invoices, etc., to ensure that the documents are true, valid and the contents match.
After receiving the documents, the agency will enter the data and make declarations, and upload the data to the tax department for review through the tax refund declaration system. After the tax department approves, the tax refund amount will be transferred to the agency's account, and the agency will then transfer it to the export enterprise. During the handling process, pay attention to the timeliness and accuracy of the documents to avoid affecting the progress of tax refunds due to document problems. At the same time, maintain close communication with the agency to keep abreast of the handling situation.

Pay attention to the agent's charging methods. Some charge according to the proportion of the tax refund amount, and some charge per order. It should be negotiated in advance to avoid fee disputes in the later stage.

After the goods are exported, the foreign exchange should be collected in a timely manner. The situation of foreign exchange collection is also a key point in the review of tax refunds. Otherwise, tax refunds may not be possible.
