For the handling of tax bureau accounts in agency import business, first, it is necessary to clarify the mode of agency import. If it is a pure agency that charges an agency fee, the import customs duties and value - added tax are borne by the consignor. Customs duties are included in the consignor's procurement cost. If the consignor is a general taxpayer, the value - added tax can be deducted.
In accounting treatment, when paying customs duties and value - added tax, debit "Other receivables - consignor" and credit "Bank deposit". When receiving payments from the consignor, debit "Bank deposit" and credit "Other receivables - consignor". In terms of voucher preparation, the customs duties are based on the customs duty payment vouchers, and the value - added tax is based on the special payment vouchers for customs - imported value - added tax. When posting, record accurately according to the above accounts. If the agency company advances the taxes, it is also necessary to pay attention to timely settlement with the consignor.
If the agency company imports on its own and then sells to the consignor, the customs duties are included in the cost of the imported goods, and the value - added tax is accounted as input tax. When selling to the consignor, recognize revenue and accrue output tax.
