The profits of export tax rebate agency companies mainly come from the following aspects. First is the agency fee, which is a common source of income. When an enterprise entrusts an agency company to handle export tax rebates, the agency company will charge agency fees according to the complexity of the business, the scale of exports, etc., either per order or as a certain proportion of the export amount, for example, charging 1%-3% of the export amount.
Secondly, if some export tax rebate agency companies themselves have foreign trade qualifications, they may negotiate with the entrusting enterprises to operate in the way of buying out exports. In this model, the agency company pays a fixed sum to the entrusting enterprise and then obtains the tax rebate benefits by itself. If the tax rebate amount is higher than the sum paid to the enterprise, the agency company can make a profit from it.
In addition, some agency companies will also charge fees for providing value-added services, such as providing services such as export tax rebate policy consultation and tax planning for enterprises and charging corresponding consulting service fees.
