The agent import can be deducted, but certain conditions need to be met. First of all, your company needs to be a general taxpayer, obtain a legal and valid Special Payment Book of Customs Import VAT, and the payment unit indicated on the payment book is your company or your company and the agent jointly as the payment unit.
Secondly, the imported goods need to be used for VAT taxable items. If they are used for tax-exempt items, collective welfare, etc., they cannot be deducted.
Regarding the process, after obtaining the Special Payment Book of Customs Import VAT, you need to log in to the comprehensive service platform of VAT invoices to check and confirm, and then fill in the corresponding columns when filing the tax return according to the regulations to make the deduction. Pay attention to verifying whether the information on the payment book is accurate, and keep the relevant import contracts, customs declarations and other materials well for the inspection of the tax authorities.

It should be noted that the agent import agreement should clearly define the rights and obligations of both parties, especially the part involving tax treatment. Otherwise, it may affect the deduction. If there is an error in the information of the customs payment book, contact the relevant departments in time to correct it.

The deduction period should also be noted. Now there is no time limit for certification confirmation, audit comparison, and declaration of deduction, but it is still better to handle it as soon as possible to avoid forgetting. And it is necessary to ensure the authenticity of the import business. Otherwise, it belongs to illegal deduction.

When making the deduction, don't forget that the customs duties paid in the import link cannot be deducted. Only the import VAT that meets the conditions can be deducted. Also, it is necessary to ensure that the agent has legal and compliant agent import qualifications.

If it is a Special Payment Book of Customs Import VAT with double headers, only one of your company and the agent can make the deduction, and it cannot be deducted repeatedly. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if it is found out.
