In Shandong, export tax rebate agencies usually charge fees. The fee models generally include the following: First, a percentage of the rebate amount, such as 3% - 8% of the rebate. This is the most common method, where higher rebate amounts result in higher agency fees. Second, a fixed fee per transaction, typically ranging from 500 - 2,000 RMB per transaction, which suits enterprises with low export volumes and stable rebate amounts per transaction.
When selecting an agency, pay attention to its qualifications and reputation, ensuring it has extensive experience in export tax rebates and familiarity with local tax policies. Also, review the contract terms carefully to clarify fee details and avoid hidden charges later.
