How should the tax refund be handled for export through entrusted agency?
Our company plans to export products through an entrusted agency. We used to export products by ourselves before and are not very familiar with the tax refund for export through an entrusted agency. I would like to ask what the process of tax refund for export through an entrusted agency is, what materials need to be prepared, and what the differences are from self - managed export tax refund. I hope you can explain it in detail so that I can have a clear understanding of the tax refund for export through an entrusted agency and facilitate the smooth progress of subsequent work.

For the tax refund of export through an entrusted agency, first of all, the principal should obtain the Certificate of Export of Goods through Entrusted Agency issued by the agent.
In terms of the process, after the goods are declared for export, the principal should promptly log in to the Electronic Tax Bureau and enter data in the export tax refund declaration module, such as entering export details, purchase details, etc., generate declaration data and conduct self - inspection to check the accuracy of the data. After confirmation, make a formal declaration.
The required materials include the export agency agreement, the export goods declaration form, the Certificate of Export of Goods through Entrusted Agency, the special VAT invoice (if it is the export of self - produced goods by a manufacturing enterprise, this invoice is not required), etc.
The difference from self - managed export tax refund is that for the tax refund of export through an entrusted agency, the principal handles the tax refund and needs to rely on the certificate provided by the agent; while for self - managed export tax refund, the enterprise completes all the export and tax refund processes by itself.

Pay attention to the export proceeds collection situation of the goods. Only the proceeds collection that meets the regulations can be eligible for normal tax refund. In special cases where the proceeds cannot be collected, the procedures for non - proceeds collection should be handled as required.
