How to check the tax refund for export agency? What are the reliable methods?
Solved#Export tax rebate#
Our company has engaged an export agency to assist with the tax refund, but we're not quite sure how to check the progress of the tax refund. We haven't been involved in this area before and would like to know if there are any official channels or common methods to find out the specific situation of the tax refund. It would be even better if the operation steps could be explained in detail, so that I can keep track of the tax refund situation at any time and avoid some unnecessary problems. Please help answer this question, thank you!

To query the tax refund for export agency, it can be done through the Electronic Tax Bureau. First, log in to the local Electronic Tax Bureau using the company's tax identification number and password. After entering, find the "I Want to Handle Tax Affairs" section and click on "Export Tax Refund Management" within it. Under this module, there is the option of "Querying the Progress of Tax Refund Declaration". Click on it to view the status of the tax refund handling, such as "Accepted", "Under Review", "In the Process of Tax Refund", etc.
Additionally, you can also call the local 12366 Taxpayer Service Hotline, provide relevant information to the tax officials, such as the company name, the batch of tax refund declaration, etc., and inquire about the progress of the tax refund. You can also bring relevant materials and go to the tax service hall of the competent tax authority to ask the staff for assistance in the query. Zhongshitong reminds that regardless of which method is used, ensuring the accuracy of the provided information is the key.
