Agent import and export enterprises can get tax rebates. But certain conditions need to be met. First, the principal should be a production enterprise with the right to operate import and export, etc. Second, the agency import and export agreement should be clear and standardized, clarifying the rights and obligations of both parties.
Regarding the tax rebate process, generally, the principal handles the tax rebate. After the goods are declared for export and sold in accounting, the principal needs to provide relevant materials to the competent tax rebate authority to apply for tax rebates. The required materials include the Certificate of Agent Export of Goods, the Declaration Form of Export Goods, etc. If the principal is a production enterprise, the "exemption, offset, and refund" tax method is implemented; if it is a foreign trade enterprise, the amount of tax rebate is calculated based on the amount and tax rebate rate indicated on the VAT special invoice obtained for the purchased goods. The main responsibility of the agent is to assist the principal in preparing relevant materials and transmitting them as required. As long as the operation is carried out strictly in accordance with regulations, the tax rebate for the relevant business of agent import and export enterprises can proceed smoothly.

Tax rebates can be obtained, but note that the goods for agent import and export must be within the scope of value-added tax and consumption tax collection. And the tax rebate must be declared within the specified time, otherwise, it may be too late to handle.

The agent enterprise itself does not directly get tax rebates. It mainly assists the principal. If the principal meets the tax rebate conditions and follows the process, the tax rebate can be obtained. The agent just needs to handle the relevant procedures properly.
