What are the charging standards for import and export tax refund agents? Does anyone know?
Solved#Other issues#
Our company recently intends to find an import and export tax refund agent to help handle related businesses, but we don't quite understand the charging situation in this regard. I'd like to ask everyone, how do import and export tax refund agents usually charge? Is it charged per order, or according to the proportion of the tax refund amount, or are there other charging methods? What factors will be considered when charging? I hope that friends with experience can share it so that I can have an idea.

There are various charging methods for import and export tax refund agents. Commonly, there is charging per order. This method usually prices according to the complexity of the business. A simple business may cost a few hundred yuan per order, while a complex one may cost thousands of yuan per order. There is also charging according to the proportion of the tax refund amount, with the proportion usually ranging from 3% to 15%. If the tax refund amount is high, the agency bears relatively greater risks, and the proportion may be lower; otherwise, it will be higher. In addition, the charging will also consider the business volume of the enterprise. If the business volume is large, there may be discounts. The type of the enterprise's import and export business also has an impact. For example, the charges for general trade and processing trade are different. Like Zhongshitong, it will give a reasonable quotation after comprehensive evaluation to help the enterprise effectively control costs.

Some agents will charge according to the scale of the enterprise. If the scale is large and there are many businesses, the charging may be relatively favorable. They will also refer to the region where the enterprise is located. The charging in economically developed regions may be relatively high.

It may also depend on the number of enterprise bills. If there are many bills, the workload of sorting and auditing is large, and the charging will also be higher.
