Generally speaking, the income tax return for agency export business is different from that of domestic sales. For agency export, the entrusted party generally is not involved in the declaration and payment of value-added tax. In financial handling, the entrusted party recognizes the income based on the collected agency fee. When filing the tax return, the agency fee income should be filled in the relevant columns of "Taxable services, real estate, and intangible assets" in the value-added tax return. If it is a small-scale taxpayer, fill it in the sales amount column of services, real estate, and intangible assets with the corresponding levy rate.
At the same time, relevant supporting materials need to be obtained for agency export, such as the agency export agreement, a copy of the principal's tax registration certificate, etc. The principal needs to handle the export tax rebate declaration, and the entrusted party should assist in providing relevant materials, such as the certificate of agency export goods. The whole process is relatively complex. It is recommended that your company consult the local tax authority or hire a professional tax advisor to ensure accurate and compliant tax filing.

The income from agency export is generally subject to value-added tax as a service industry, with a tax rate of 6% (for general taxpayers). Fill it in the corresponding service income column in the value-added tax return when filing the tax return. At the same time, keep materials such as the agency contract for future reference.
