It is not okay not to file taxes for agency exports. From the perspective of tax regulations, whether the export business is through an agency or not, it involves tax treatments such as value-added tax and consumption tax. Not filing taxes is an illegal act. Once detected by the tax authorities, penalties such as fines and late payment fees will be faced, and in serious cases, criminal liability may also be borne, which will affect the reputation of the enterprise.
The tax filing process for agency exports: First, the consignor and the consignee need to sign an agency export agreement. After the goods are exported, the consignee needs to apply to the competent tax authority for issuing a certificate of agency exported goods within the specified time, based on the agency export agreement, the customs declaration form of exported goods and other materials. Then the consignor declares the export tax refund based on this certificate and other relevant documents. If it is an agency export business regarded as domestic sales, the consignor shall pay value-added tax and other taxes according to the regulations of domestic sales. In conclusion, taxes for agency exports must be filed in accordance with the regulations to ensure the legal and compliant operation of the enterprise.

Never don't file taxes. Not filing taxes will not only affect the enterprise's tax payment credit rating, but if it involves suspicion of tax fraud, the problem will be serious. Follow the regular process, declare when it should be declared, and claim tax refunds when it should be claimed. Don't dig a hole for yourself.
