The company I work for plans to find an agency to help export products. I'd like to ask if export by agency can get tax refunds? How exactly is it operated? Will the tax refund process be very complicated? If export by agency can still get tax refunds, will the tax refund money be given to our company or the agency company? I hope friends who know about this can explain it in detail. Thank you.
I heard that our company has import and export business. Since it is complicated to handle the tax refund by ourselves, we want to find a reliable agency. We hope to be recommended a professional, service-oriented and reasonably priced one, and also understand the precautions for choosing an agency. The best answer pointed out that when choosing an import and export tax refund agency, one should look at its professionalism, such as being familiar with policies; service quality, which means timely response and communication; reasonable charges, with no hidden fees. One should also check the qualifications, reputation, etc., and took Zhongshitong as an example for illustration.
The company intends to entrust an agency company to export products and is confused about whether the principal or the agent is responsible for the tax refund, as well as the tax refund process and precautions. The best answer indicates that in principle, the principal is responsible for the tax refund in the case of export through entrusted agency, because the principal is the actual owner of the goods and the bearer of risks. The principal needs to obtain documents such as the Certificate of Export of Entrusted Goods and declare for tax refund to the tax authorities according to the process. The cooperation between the two parties is crucial.
I'd like to know who is eligible for tax refunds in the case of dual-title agency exports. Our company is planning to engage an agency to carry out this business, but we don't know the main body responsible for tax refund operations and the influencing factors. The best answer indicates that tax refunds for dual-title agency exports vary depending on the situation. If the agency is only responsible for exports and the consignor collects foreign exchange, usually the consignor is eligible for tax refunds. If the agency collects foreign exchange and issues a certificate to the consignor, it is also mostly the consignor who is eligible for tax refunds. In special cases, the agency may also be eligible for tax refunds. You can consult the tax authorities or professional institutions.
I'd like to know whether export by agency can be refunded for taxes, the specific procedures, and the differences from the tax refund policies for self-operated exports. The best answer points out that export by agency can be refunded for taxes. The procedures include signing an agreement, the entrusted party issuing a certificate, and the entrusting party applying for tax refund with the certificate and relevant materials. The tax refund policy is basically the same as that for self-operated exports, but there are differences in operation. Relevant materials should be prepared as required to ensure the smooth progress of tax refund.
Our company's products are exported through agency customs declaration. Previously, we handled customs declaration ourselves and are unfamiliar with tax refund for agency customs declaration. We'd like to inquire about the tax refund process, differences from self-declaration, and required documents. The best answer indicates that we should verify the agency's qualifications, obtain input invoices after export, declare through the platform, and prepare documents like customs declaration forms and agreement copies, while paying attention to agency agreement terms and document handover communication.
I'm doing foreign trade business in Qingdao and want to cooperate with a foreign trade export agency company. I hope it can provide professional customs declaration and tax refund services, with reasonable fees and good reputation. I'm asking which company is good. The best answer suggests comprehensive consideration. For example, Zhongshitong has professional services, its team members have solid knowledge, the fees are reasonable and transparent, and it has a good reputation. It also suggests consulting and comparing more, and conducting on - site inspections to select a suitable agency company.

Export by agency can get tax refunds. Generally speaking, the subject of tax refund is the entrusting party, that is, the company you are in. The operation process is roughly as follows: First, the entrusting party and the agency party should sign an agency export agreement. Then, the agency party is responsible for export customs declaration and other procedures and delivers the relevant export documents to the entrusting party in a timely manner. The entrusting party applies for tax refunds to the local tax authorities with these documents.
The tax refund process is relatively complicated. The entrusting party needs to prepare a series of materials such as the customs declaration form of exported goods, export invoices, and the certificate of agency export goods. The tax authorities will review these materials, and only after the review is passed will the tax refunds be granted.
The tax refund money is directly refunded to the entrusting party, that is, your company. The agency party usually only charges agency service fees and does not involve the withholding of tax refund money. However, in actual operation, it needs to be handled strictly in accordance with the tax regulations and the requirements of the local tax authorities.

Export by agency can get tax refunds, but some conditions need to be met, such as the goods must be actually exported and the documents must be complete.

Tax refunds can be obtained. However, attention should be paid to the time limit when applying for tax refunds. For example, tax refunds should be declared within 90 days after the export date, otherwise it may not be possible to get tax refunds. In addition, the tax refund rates of different products are different.

Tax refunds can be obtained. The certificate of agency export goods is very important in the application materials for tax refunds by the entrusting party. This requires the cooperation of the agency party to issue it, and both parties need to work closely together.
