Solved#Import agent#
I'm in Chongqing and I'm planning to import a batch of goods recently. I'd like to know about the tax rate situation of the import agency fees in Chongqing. I don't know how the tax rate of the import agency fees is calculated according to what standard. Is it fixed, or will it change according to different types of goods or other factors? In addition, when calculating the tax rate, besides the agency fees themselves, will other fees be involved in the calculation together? I hope that some professionals can help answer these questions. Thank you!

The tax rate of import agency fees in Chongqing is not fixed and is mainly affected by various factors. Generally speaking, import agency services belong to modern service industries, and the value-added tax rate is usually 6%. If small-scale taxpayers provide import agency services, the levy rate is 3%. However, there may be preferential policies during specific periods. For example, during the epidemic, the levy rate of some small-scale taxpayers was reduced to 1%.
At the same time, the tax rate may also vary depending on the nature of the goods. For example, for some goods under special supervision, the calculation of the tax rate for their agency services may be different. When calculating the tax rate, usually only the agency fees are used as the base, and other fees such as the value of the goods themselves are not involved. However, it should be noted that if the agency services include other services of different natures such as customs declaration and transportation, they need to be calculated separately and taxed according to their respective applicable tax rates. If they are not calculated separately, the higher applicable tax rate will be applied.

Generally, the tax rate of import agency fees depends on whether the agency company is a general taxpayer or a small-scale taxpayer. It is 6% for general taxpayers and 3% for small-scale taxpayers. Specifically, it also depends on the tax policies.
