The general process of applying for export tax rebates for agency exports is as follows: First, the consignor and the agent need to sign an agency export agreement. Second, the agent is responsible for export customs declaration, foreign exchange collection, and other procedures to obtain relevant export documents. Then, after the goods are exported and accounted for as sales in the financial statements, the consignor shall apply to the competent tax authority for tax rebates within the stipulated declaration period.
When applying for tax rebates, the consignor needs to prepare copies of the agency export agreement, export goods customs declaration forms, export foreign exchange verification forms, and other documents. If a consignor entrusts a manufacturing enterprise to export self-produced goods on its behalf, it also needs to provide a Certificate of Agency Export Goods.
The tax rebate declaration operation is carried out by the consignor, and the agent assists in providing relevant documents. The whole process is somewhat different from that of self-export tax rebates. However, as long as the documents are prepared according to the regulations and the process is familiar, it can also be smoothly handled.
