Yes, you can get tax refund through an agent without export rights. The general procedure is as follows: First, you need to sign an export agency agreement with the agent to clarify both parties' rights and obligations. Before exporting the goods, you provide relevant product information to the agent, who will handle customs declaration in their name. After export, you need to provide the agent with documents required for tax refund, such as VAT special invoices and customs declaration forms. The agent will then compile these documents and apply for tax refund with the tax authorities.
The tax refund process isn't particularly complicated, but all steps need to be well coordinated. Agents may charge certain service fees for handling tax refunds, which vary by agency and are usually calculated as a percentage of the export amount. However, compared to obtaining export rights and handling tax refund yourself, using an agent can save time and effort while ensuring you receive the tax refund smoothly.
As long as you prepare the required documents properly and cooperate with the agent, the tax refund process can generally be completed successfully.
