The tax payment for agency export service fees involves multiple aspects. Firstly, in terms of value-added tax, when general taxpayers provide agency export services, the applicable tax rate is 6%; the levy rate for small-scale taxpayers is 3%, and in 2023, the value-added tax for small-scale taxpayers is temporarily levied at a levy rate of 1% in stages.
Besides value-added tax, urban maintenance and construction tax, education surcharge and local education surcharge also need to be paid. The urban maintenance and construction tax is based on the amount of value-added tax. The tax rate in urban areas is 7%, that in county towns and towns is 5%, and that in areas outside urban areas, county towns or towns is 1%. The education surcharge rate is 3%, and the local education surcharge rate is usually 2%.
In terms of the declaration process, generally, log in to the e-tax bureau, fill in the data according to the prompts in the relevant declaration module and submit the declaration. The tax payment period is usually monthly or quarterly, and the specific period is subject to the verification of the tax authorities.
