Import and export agency companies are mainly involved in value-added tax, enterprise income tax and other types of taxes. In terms of value-added tax, agency services belong to modern service industries. The tax rate for general taxpayers is 6%, and the levy rate for small-scale taxpayers is 3% (it may be adjusted due to policies currently). The basic tax rate for enterprise income tax is 25%. If it meets the tax preferential conditions such as being a small and micro-profit enterprise, the tax rate will be reduced.
For the tax filing process, generally, copy the tax information first (in case of using tax control equipment), then log in to the electronic tax bureau, fill out relevant tax returns such as value-added tax and enterprise income tax, submit the filing after checking that the data is correct, and finally pay the taxes.
It should be noted particularly that it is necessary to accurately calculate agency revenues and costs, obtain legal and valid invoices, and avoid tax risks. At the same time, pay attention to import and export related tax policies, such as the export tax rebate policy, and keep informed of policy changes in a timely manner to enjoy preferential treatments in compliance.
