For tax refund of agent export enterprises, first, it is necessary to clarify the definition of the agent export business, distinguishing between general agent export and buyout - like agent export. For general agent export, the consignor handles the tax refund. The trustee needs to apply to the competent tax authority for issuing a certificate of agent export of goods within 60 days after the goods are declared for export and deliver it to the consignor in a timely manner. Materials such as the agent export agreement and the export goods declaration form are required for the handling.
After the consignor obtains the certificate and other materials required for tax refund, it declares tax refund according to its own tax refund declaration process. If it is a buyout - like agent export, the trustee declares tax refund according to the self - export business. Materials such as the export goods declaration form and the special VAT invoice need to be prepared, and the tax refund declaration is carried out through the e - tax bureau or the offline window within the specified declaration period. Although the whole process has a certain degree of complexity, operating as required can complete the tax refund smoothly.

For tax refund of agent export enterprises, pay attention to the time nodes. For example, there is a specified time limit for issuing the certificate of agent export of goods.
