The taxes involved in import agency fees in Fujian mainly refer to value-added tax. For general taxpayers providing import agency services, the value-added tax rate is 6%. The calculation method is to take the collected agency fee as the tax basis and multiply it by 6% to obtain the value-added tax amount to be paid. For example, if the agency fee is 10,000 yuan, then the value-added tax is 10,000×6% = 600 yuan.
Small-scale taxpayers are subject to a levy rate of 3% (it may be even lower under some preferential policies), and the calculation is also based on the agency fee. For example, if the agency fee is 10,000 yuan, the value-added tax is 10,000×3% = 300 yuan.
In addition to value-added tax, urban maintenance and construction tax, education surcharge, and local education surcharge may also be involved. They are calculated based on the actually paid value-added tax. The urban maintenance and construction tax rate is 7% in urban areas, 5% in counties and towns, and 1% in other areas; the education surcharge rate is 3%, and the local education surcharge rate is 2%.

In addition to the above, if you sign a contract with the agency, you also need to pay attention to stamp duty. However, the stamp duty rate is relatively low, usually affixing stamps at a rate of 0.03% to 0.05% of the contract amount.

Remember to ask the agency company whether the price is inclusive of tax. If it is not, in addition to the agency fee, you also need to pay the tax money separately. The 3% tax for small-scale taxpayers is also an expense.

If the agency company can provide a formal invoice, the tax situation will be clearer. For general taxpayers, it is a 6% value-added tax invoice, and for small-scale taxpayers, it is 3%. Just calculate according to the invoice amount.

Before signing a contract with the agency, write down the tax clauses clearly to clarify the responsibilities of both parties. If there are subsequent tax changes, it will be easier to handle according to the contract.
