The tax filing for agency export income should be carried out according to the following steps. First, in the tax declaration system, accurately distinguish the agency export business from the self-operated export business. Regarding the preparation of materials, agency export agreements, export goods customs declarations, export foreign exchange verification forms (if the paper verification forms have been cancelled, provide the corresponding electronic data according to local requirements), etc. should be prepared.
Regarding the tax rate, the agency export business itself doesn't involve the payment of value-added tax and consumption tax because the agency only collects the agency fee. The agency fee is subject to value-added tax according to "Modern Services - Business Auxiliary Services - Brokerage Agency Services". The tax rate for general taxpayers is 6%, and the levy rate for small-scale taxpayers is 3% (there are preferential policies during the epidemic period). When filing, fill in the relevant declaration forms truthfully and enter the agency fee income into the corresponding taxable service columns.
In addition, it is necessary to timely file the agency export business with the tax authorities to ensure business compliance.

Remember the tax filing time well and file according to the declaration period stipulated by the tax authorities. Otherwise, fines may be imposed for overdue filing. Generally, taxes for the previous period are declared at the beginning of each month or each quarter.
