In principle, the export tax rebate for agency exports goes to the consignor, that is, the enterprise that entrusts the agency company to handle the export business. This is because the consignor is the actual exporter and seller of the goods. It bears the value-added tax and other tax burdens in the domestic procurement process during the export of goods. Therefore, the export tax rebate is the refund of the relevant taxes already paid by the consignor.
However, to obtain the tax rebate, certain conditions need to be met. On the one hand, the consignor and the agent need to sign a standardized agency export agreement to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties. On the other hand, the agent needs to handle the tax rebate declaration and other procedures with the relevant documents within the specified time to the tax authorities.
If there are special circumstances such as the consignor not meeting the tax rebate qualifications, the tax rebate may not be carried out normally. But as long as the consignor meets the requirements for export tax rebate, the export tax rebate for agency exports will go to the consignor.
