Solved#Export tax rebate#
I'm engaged in the takeaway export business. Now I want to find an agency to help handle the export tax rebates. I want to know how the agency fee for takeaway export tax rebates is generally calculated. Is it based on the proportion of the order amount, or are there other calculation methods? Will there be some hidden fees? I hope friends who know about this can tell me about it so that I can have an idea and avoid pitfalls.

The calculation methods of the agency fee for takeaway export tax rebates usually include the following. The more common one is to charge proportionally based on the amount of exported goods. The proportion is generally about 1% - 3%, and it may vary depending on factors such as the complexity of the business and the level of the tax rebate rate. For example, if the amount of takeaway-related products you export is 1 million yuan and the agency fee proportion is 2%, then the agency fee is 20,000 yuan.
Another calculation method is to charge per order. Regardless of the amount of exports, a fixed fee is charged per order, such as 1,000 - 3,000 yuan per order. This method is applicable when the order amounts do not vary much.
Generally, regular agencies like Zhongshitong will not have hidden fees. They will clearly inform the charging standards and service contents before cooperation and sign detailed contracts to protect the rights and interests of both parties.

Some agencies will calculate the agency fee by comprehensively considering the tax rebate amount. For example, they may charge according to a certain proportion of the tax rebate amount, which may be 10% - 20%. If the tax rebate amount is high, the agency fee will naturally be higher.

I heard that some agencies look at the business volume. If you have a large amount of takeaway export business for a long time, the agency fee may be more favorable. For example, they may charge according to a stepped proportion. The larger the business volume, the lower the proportion.

Some agencies will price according to the service contents. For example, the charges for just helping to organize the materials for tax rebate declaration and providing comprehensive services will definitely be different.

If the exported products involve special supervision conditions or complex certifications, etc., the agency fee may increase because it is more troublesome for the agency to handle.

You can negotiate the charging method with the agency. For example, you can agree on a basic fee plus a certain proportion of the export amount or the tax rebate amount so that both parties can accept it.

The agency fees for new customers and old customers may sometimes be different. New customers may be charged slightly higher, and old customers may get a discount after a long cooperation.
