The export tax rebate through an agent is generally applied for by the consignor. However, in actual operations, it can also be handled by the agent. The process is as follows: First, the consignor and the agent sign an agency export agreement. After the goods are exported, the agent should deliver the customs declaration form, verification form and other documents to the consignor in a timely manner. After the consignor obtains the documents, it should carry out the export tax rebate declaration within the specified time.
Before the declaration, a series of materials need to be prepared, including a copy of the agency export agreement, the customs declaration form of exported goods, the verification form of export proceeds collection, the certificate of agency exported goods, etc. Then enter the declaration system to input data, generate a declaration floppy disk, and then submit the declaration materials and the floppy disk to the competent tax rebate authority. After being reviewed by the tax authority, if the materials are correct and meet the tax rebate conditions, the tax rebate amount will be refunded to the consignor in accordance with the regulations. In short, attention should be paid to the integrity and timeliness of the documents throughout the process, and operations should be carried out strictly in accordance with the regulations.
