When you seek an agent for export tax refund, first of all, you should sign a detailed agency export agreement with the agent company to clarify the responsibilities and obligations related to tax refund.
Secondly, after the goods are exported, you should promptly provide complete tax refund materials to the agent company, including the tax refund page of the customs declaration form, the special VAT invoice, the export invoice, etc. After receiving the materials, the agent company will sort them out and submit them to the competent tax authorities for tax refund declaration within the specified time.
During the declaration process, the tax authorities may review some contents, such as the authenticity of the invoice and the accuracy of the customs declaration form information. If the review is passed, the tax refund will first be transferred to the agent company's account, and then the agent company will transfer it to you according to the agreement. Pay attention to the time nodes of each link throughout the process, such as the invoice certification period and the tax refund declaration period, to avoid failure to obtain the tax refund due to overdue.

Generally, the agent will assist in handling the tax refund, but you should also be clear about the process. The information on the customs declaration form must be accurate, otherwise it will affect the tax refund. Also, don't issue the wrong invoice.

After the tax refund materials are prepared, the agent will generally help with the process. But remember to ask the agent clearly if there are any additional fees. Don't end up with a small tax refund and a lot of fees deducted.

The export date is crucial. The tax refund declaration must be completed within the specified time. In addition, confirm with the agent how long it will take to transfer the tax refund to you after it arrives, and don't let it be delayed.

If the tax authorities require supplementary materials during the tax refund process, provide them as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will delay the time and affect the tax refund progress.
