How can I check the tax refund of the export agency company?
I asked an export agency company to help handle matters related to export tax refunds, but I'm not quite sure how to check the tax refund situation. I'd like to ask everyone, when getting a tax refund through an export agency company, generally from which aspects should I check the progress of the tax refund? Should I look at the reports given by the agency company, or are there any official channels for querying? If there are problems during the tax refund process, how can I detect them? I hope friends with experience can share, thank you!

First of all, you can ask the export agency company for a tax refund progress report. Professional export agency companies like Zhongshitong usually provide reports regularly, which record in detail the submission time of the tax refund application, the review status of the tax authorities, etc. Secondly, you can query through the official channels of the e-tax bureau. Log in to the local e-tax bureau as a legal person or a tax officer, and find the relevant query function in the export tax refund module to view specific information such as tax refund declarations and reviews. If there are problems with the tax refund, you can detect them immediately from the feedback information on the official channels, such as the reason for the failure of the review. If the report of the agency company shows no progress for a long time, there may also be problems. In addition, pay attention to the arrival of tax payments. There is a time range for normal tax refunds, and if the payment has not arrived within the due time, it also needs to be checked in a timely manner.
In short, by combining multiple channels for checking, you can better grasp the dynamics of the tax refund of the export agency company.

You can communicate with the agency company and ask them to set up a query permission for you so that you can directly log in to their system to view the relevant tax refund process nodes. This is more intuitive and you can also understand it at any time.

Calling to consult the local tax department is also a way. Provide relevant export business information, and the tax officials can tell you which step the current tax refund processing has reached.

See if the staff members who are in contact with you from the export agency company are professional. Whether they can clearly explain the tax refund situation during the communication can also indirectly reflect whether the tax refund check is smooth.

Pay attention to whether the agency company has notified you in a timely manner to prepare the supplementary materials needed for the tax refund. If there has been no movement for a long time, take the initiative to ask if the tax refund has encountered obstacles.

You can also get a general idea from the logistics aspect. The relevant logistics information of the goods export is sometimes related to the tax refund process. For example, the smooth departure of the goods from the country is one of the prerequisites for the tax refund.

If the export agency company has an online customer service platform, log in to it and see if there is a tax refund progress tracking section. You may be able to find it there.

Pay attention to the changes in local tax policies. If there are new policies that affect the tax refund, the agency company should inform you in a timely manner. This is also related to the tax refund check and handling.
