The calculation of export tax rebate through an agent generally involves two key parts: one is the calculation of the tax rebate amount, and the other is the consideration of agency fees.
The tax rebate amount is usually calculated based on the tax calculation amount on the VAT invoice and the tax rebate rate corresponding to the product. The formula is: Tax rebate amount = Tax calculation amount × Tax rebate rate. The tax calculation amount is generally the tax - exclusive purchase amount of the exported goods. For example, if you export a batch of goods and the VAT invoice shows that the tax calculation amount is 1 million yuan and the tax rebate rate of this product is 13%, then the tax rebate amount is 100×13% = 130,000 yuan.
Regarding agency fees, the agent company generally charges a certain percentage of the export amount, such as 1% - 3%. Suppose the export amount is 1 million US dollars and the agency rate is 2%, then the agency fee is 1 million×2% = 20,000 US dollars. The actual tax rebate received needs to deduct relevant costs such as agency fees. The tax rebate rates of different products are different, and the policies may change. It is recommended to pay attention to the relevant regulations of the State Taxation Administration and clarify the details of fees and tax rebate calculations with the agent company at the same time.

For some products, there may be a difference between the tax collection rate and the tax rebate rate. This factor should be considered during the calculation. For example, if the tax collection rate is 17% and the tax rebate rate is 13%, the 4% difference needs to be treated as an input tax transfer, which affects cost accounting.

If it involves consumer - tax - taxable products, the tax rebate calculation is different. It needs to be calculated according to the relevant regulations of the consumer tax. For example, for ad valorem consumer goods, the tax rebate is based on the tax amount indicated on the special payment receipt for consumer tax of the purchased export goods.
