To claim tax refunds when entrusting an export agent, first of all, the entrusting party should collect all the relevant vouchers within each value-added tax declaration period from the next month after the date of customs declaration of the goods for export until April 30 of the following year, and apply to the competent tax authorities for exemption and refund of value-added tax and consumption tax on exported goods. The process is as follows: Step 1, the entrusting party signs a consignment agency export agreement with the agent. Step 2, the agent is responsible for operations such as export customs declaration and foreign exchange collection, and promptly hands over relevant customs declaration forms, foreign exchange verification forms and other information to the entrusting party. Step 3, the entrusting party prepares the contracts, invoices, customs declaration forms and other information required for tax refunds, enters the export tax refund declaration system to generate declaration data, and applies to the competent tax authorities for tax refunds. It should be noted that the entrusting party should ensure the authenticity and completeness of the provided information, and at the same time collect foreign exchange in a timely manner. If foreign exchange cannot be collected within the specified period, it should comply with the relevant provisions regarding deemed foreign exchange collection, otherwise it may affect tax refunds.
In short, as long as the process is followed and the information is prepared, claiming tax refunds when entrusting an export agent is not very complicated.
