Export agents can issue value - added tax invoices. Generally, export agent companies will issue special value - added tax invoices or ordinary value - added tax invoices according to the nature of the services they provide. If an export agent company only provides agency services and charges agency fees, it will issue value - added tax invoices with a 6% tax rate for the agency fee part. If an export agent company is involved in buyout exports, that is, exporting goods and receiving foreign exchange in its own name, etc., it will issue value - added tax invoices with a 13% tax rate according to the sale of goods (the tax rate may vary for different goods).
It should be noted that the invoice issuer should ensure that it has the invoicing qualifications, the invoice recipient should confirm that the invoice is consistent with the actual business, and at the same time pay attention to the standard of invoice issuance, such as accurate information and complete filling, to avoid subsequent tax risks.

Whether an export agent can issue a value - added tax invoice depends on the essence of the business. If it is a pure agency and only charges agency fees, it will issue a value - added tax invoice with a 6% tax rate according to the service industry. If it is related to goods transactions, it may issue an invoice according to the tax rate of the goods.

Value - added tax invoices can be issued, but the type of invoice and the tax rate need to be determined according to the specific business. It is best to communicate clearly with the export agent about the invoicing details in advance.
