The tax rate for agency freight of exported goods needs to be distinguished according to different situations. Generally speaking, if it is a general taxpayer providing freight forwarding services for goods transportation, the value-added tax rate is 6%. This applies to agency services under various means of transportation such as sea transportation and air transportation, and the tax rate will not change due to the means of transportation.
For small-scale taxpayers, the levy rate is 3%. In 2023, small-scale taxpayers of value-added tax with monthly sales of less than 100,000 yuan (including this amount) are exempt from value-added tax.
It should be noted here that different regions will not lead to different tax rates for agency freight, because the value-added tax rate is uniformly regulated nationwide. However, enterprises may have different actual tax burdens due to conforming to specific tax preferential policies. For example, some enterprises conform to the policy of additional deductions and can deduct the amount of tax payable within the prescribed proportion.
