Trading enterprises can act as agents for export tax rebates. First, the agent export enterprise must apply to the tax authority’s rebate department for the issuance of an Agent Export Goods Certificate within 60 days from the date of customs declaration for export (based on the export date indicated on the Export Customs Declaration Form for Tax Rebate Purposes) and promptly transfer it to the entrusting enterprise. When applying, materials such as the entrusted agent export agreement and the export customs declaration form must be provided.
Second, the entrusting enterprise must use the Agent Export Goods Certificate and other supporting documents to apply for the export tax rebate. The entrusting enterprise should be one that qualifies for export tax rebates.
The operational process is roughly as follows: both parties sign an agent export agreement → the agent applies for the Agent Export Goods Certificate → the entrusting party uses the certificate and other materials to apply for the rebate. Note that the process must strictly comply with the tax authority’s requirements to ensure the materials are authentic and complete, avoiding delays in the rebate process.
