The tax refund for export agency is generally given to the entrusting party, that is, your company which hired the agency. This is based on the nature of the export agency business. The agency only provides agency services. The main body of the commodity export is the entrusting party. The ownership, sales rights and other rights and interests of the goods belong to the entrusting party. Therefore, the tax refund should be given to the entrusting party.
In the specific process, the agency is responsible for collecting and sorting out the relevant export tax refund materials and submitting them to the tax authorities. After the tax authorities have approved the application, they will transfer the tax refund to the bank account designated by the entrusting party. However, to receive the tax refund smoothly, the entrusting party and the agency need to sign a clear export agency agreement to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties, especially the clauses related to the tax refund. Meanwhile, the entrusting party should ensure that its export business is real and legal and that the tax refund materials provided are accurate and complete, so as to ensure the smooth receipt of the tax refund.
