Tax payment for agency export enterprises involves multiple aspects. Firstly, in terms of value-added tax, if the agency export goods belong to consumer goods subject to consumption tax, the treatment of consumption tax varies according to different situations. If the consignor is a manufacturing enterprise, it can handle the refund of consumption tax; if the consignor is a foreign trade enterprise, the foreign trade enterprise shall declare the refund of consumption tax by itself according to the regulations. The tax calculation basis of value-added tax is generally based on the sales amount of the agency export goods. For value-added tax, if the conditions are met, the export tax exemption policy can be enjoyed, that is, value-added tax is exempted in the export link, and the corresponding input tax amount cannot be deducted and needs to be transferred out.
Secondly, in terms of corporate income tax, the commission income of the agency export business needs to be included in the taxable income, and corporate income tax shall be paid according to the regulations, with the annual taxable income as the tax calculation basis.
In terms of the declaration process, value-added tax is usually declared within the stipulated time limit on the e-tax bureau, and relevant forms are filled in to truthfully declare information such as the export sales amount; corporate income tax is prepaid quarterly and settled annually, and the tax return form is submitted through the e-tax bureau. Meanwhile, it should be noted that relevant export business materials should be retained for inspection.

Agency export enterprises are involved in stamp duty, which is paid according to a certain proportion of the amount of the agency export contract signed. The tax rate is generally low, such as three ten-thousandths. It should be calculated and declared in a timely manner to avoid omission.

When declaring tax payment, special attention must be paid to the declaration time limit. For value-added tax, it is usually before the 15th of each month, and it will be postponed in case of holidays. The quarterly report of corporate income tax is also before the 15th of the next month after the end of the quarter. Don't be overdue.
