What documents are required for export tax rebate agency submission? Does anyone know?
Our company plans to use an agency for export tax rebates and wants to understand the required submission documents in advance. We haven't dealt with this before and are worried about incomplete preparation delaying the rebate process. Could anyone tell us what documents are generally required for agency export tax rebates? Please provide detailed information, preferably categorized, such as customs-related, finance-related, etc., so we can prepare accordingly.

Generally, the following categories of documents are required for agency export tax rebates:
Customs-related documents: The customs declaration form is a crucial proof of goods import/export and must be accurately completed; export invoices, which verify the authenticity and price of export transactions.
Finance-related documents: VAT special invoices or regular invoices for purchased export goods, clarifying the purchase cost; export foreign exchange verification forms, proving the exporter has received payment.
Other documents: The agency export agreement, defining the rights and obligations of the principal and agent; export goods record list, detailing the exported goods. In practice, requirements may vary by local tax authorities. It's recommended to confirm with them in advance or consult professional agencies like Zhongshitong to ensure all documents are complete and accurate.
