There are generally two scenarios for tax refunds in agent exports. For entrusted agent exports, the entrusting party handles the tax refund, while the entrusted party is only responsible for providing relevant documents. The process is as follows: First, the entrusting and entrusted parties sign an agent export agreement. After the goods are exported, the entrusted party promptly transfers tax refund documents such as the customs declaration form and verification form to the entrusting party. Upon receiving the documents, the entrusting party logs into the electronic tax bureau, accesses the export tax refund declaration module, enters export details, purchase details, and other data as required, generates declaration data for self-check, adjusts the data based on feedback, and formally submits the declaration. Required documents typically include the agent export agreement, export customs declaration form, export invoice, and input invoice. It is important to complete the process within the stipulated tax refund declaration period to avoid delays.
For buyout-style agent exports, where the agent buys and exports the goods, the agent handles the tax refund, with a process similar to self-operated export tax refunds, but attention must be paid to contract terms and invoice compliance.
