What should be done if you want to handle tax rebates yourself for agency exports? What key points need attention?
Solved#Export tax rebate#
Our company exports through an agent and now wants to handle tax rebates by ourselves. We don't know how to operate specifically. I heard that the process is quite complicated, a lot of materials need to be prepared, and there are some regulations to follow. I would like to ask everyone how to handle tax rebates by ourselves for agency exports? What conditions need to be met, what materials need to be prepared, and what process should be followed? I hope experienced friends can explain in detail. Thank you!

If you want to change from agency export to self - tax rebate, first of all, ensure that the enterprise has the general taxpayer qualification, because small - scale taxpayers implement a tax - free policy and cannot handle tax rebates by themselves. Secondly, the enterprise needs to have the right to operate import and export and complete the export tax refund (exemption) filing.
In terms of the operation process, after the goods are exported, timely collect tax - refund materials such as the export customs declaration form and special VAT invoice. Enter these materials into the export tax refund declaration system, generate declaration data, and make a pre - declaration to the competent tax authority to check whether the data is accurate. After the pre - declaration passes, make a formal declaration.
In terms of materials, in addition to the above - mentioned customs declaration form and invoice, an export contract, packing list, etc. may also be required. Prepare them according to the requirements of the local tax authority. The tax - refund process involves policies, regulations and specific operation details. It is recommended to learn the relevant policies and consult the local tax authorities to ensure the smooth progress of the tax - refund work.

Pay attention to the time nodes for self - tax rebates. For example, the tax - refund declaration should be made within 90 days from the export date, otherwise, the tax rebate may not be available. And there is also a specified time for invoice certification, which should be completed within the specified time limit.

Ensure the accuracy of the customs declaration form information. Items such as the commodity name, quantity, and amount cannot be wrong, otherwise, it will affect the tax rebate. The material arrangement should be standardized, otherwise, the tax authority's review may not pass.

The enterprise's financial accounting should be sound, and it should be able to accurately calculate the costs, revenues, etc. of import and export businesses. Otherwise, it is difficult for the tax authority to determine the tax - refund amount.
