The agency business of foreign trade export tax rebates has certain difficulties, but there are also opportunities. From the perspective of procedures, export tax rebates involve multiple links such as customs declaration, foreign exchange collection, and declaration. Any error in any link may lead to the delay or failure of tax rebates. Practitioners need to be familiar with the whole process and relevant policies and regulations, such as the tax rebate rates of different products, the declaration deadlines, etc. In terms of customer resources, the competition is fierce, and it's necessary to attract customers through high-quality services and word-of-mouth. As for the coping methods, on the one hand, it's necessary to strengthen professional learning and form a professional team. For example, Zhongshitong will regularly organize employees to study the latest policies. On the other hand, it's necessary to expand customers through online promotion, participating in industry exhibitions, etc. As long as these problems can be solved, there is still room for development in this business.

It's not easy to do. The policies change quickly, and you have to pay close attention all the time. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if you operate according to the old policies. Moreover, the preparation of tax rebate materials is cumbersome, and sometimes customers are not highly cooperative, and it's difficult to collect materials.

It's difficult to accumulate customers in the early stage. However, once you have a stable customer group, it will be easier later. Relying on old customers to introduce new customers, the business can be gradually expanded.

Professional knowledge is the foundation. If you don't even understand the basic tax rebate calculations and declaration procedures, you can't carry out the business at all. So you have to master the knowledge firmly first.

Capital turnover is also a problem. Sometimes the tax rebate arrives slowly in the account, and the advance payment for customers can't be delayed. This requires a certain amount of capital reserve.
