The export agency company usually needs to wait for tax refund. Generally speaking, from the submission of the tax refund application to the arrival of the tax refund amount in the account, this process can take as little as a few months or as long as half a year or even longer.
First of all, the tax refund time is affected by the review speed of the tax authorities. The tax authorities need to conduct a detailed review of the authenticity of the export business, the completeness and accuracy of the declared materials, etc. When the business volume is large, the review cycle will be extended.
Secondly, the situation of the export enterprise itself is also crucial. If the enterprise has a high credit rating, the review process of the tax authorities may be relatively simplified, and the tax refund time will be shortened; if the credit rating is low, the review will be more stringent, and the waiting time will be longer.
Furthermore, the completeness and accuracy of the submitted materials also affect the tax refund speed. If the materials are incorrect or incomplete, they need to be supplemented and modified, which will undoubtedly increase the waiting time. Therefore, one should not expect to receive the tax refund immediately after submitting the materials and should be prepared to wait.

Surely you need to wait. The tax refund process is quite complicated. The tax department needs to verify many things, such as export declarations, invoices, etc. It won't finish the review so quickly.

You need to wait. Moreover, the work efficiency of tax authorities in different regions varies. Some places may be faster, while others may be slower. It's hard to say exactly how long the wait will be.

It depends on the time when the export agency company submits the materials. If the submission is late, then the tax refund will naturally be late. So urge the agency company to submit the materials earlier.

If the products involved in the export business are relatively special, the tax authorities may need to conduct further investigations and verifications, and thus the waiting time for tax refund will be longer.

If it happens to be during the tax system upgrade or policy adjustment, the tax refund process will be affected, and the waiting time will also increase.

If the enterprise communicates smoothly with the tax authorities and can promptly solve the problems found during the review, the waiting time for tax refund can be shortened a bit.

Sometimes the bank may also delay a bit when handling the transfer of tax refund amounts. Although it's not a long time, it can also be regarded as a small factor in the process of waiting for tax refund.

If it is during the peak period of tax refund declaration, such as at the end of the quarter, etc., the tax authorities are busy with business, and the waiting time for tax refund will be longer.
