Goods exported through an agent can be tax - refunded. Generally, the consignor handles the tax - refund. The trustee (agent company) needs to provide the consignor with relevant materials such as the certificate of goods exported through an agent within the specified time.
In terms of the specific process, first, the consignor has to complete operations such as customs declaration of the exported goods. After that, collect complete tax - refund vouchers such as special VAT invoices and export goods declaration forms. Then apply to the competent tax authority for a tax refund.
For the consignor company, it should have the qualification of a general taxpayer, and the exported goods should be within the scope of VAT and consumption tax collection. Although the tax - refund process is not simple, it can be completed smoothly by following the specified steps. Tax - refund for agent - exported can reduce the company's costs. If operated properly, it is a cost - effective choice.
