The general process of agency export tax rebates is as follows: First, the export enterprise signs an agency export agreement with an agency company like Zhongshitong to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties. Then, before the goods are exported, prepare the materials required for customs declaration and hand them over to the agency company, such as contracts, invoices, packing lists, etc., and the agency company is responsible for customs declaration. After the goods are exported, the export enterprise collects foreign exchange in a timely manner and provides the foreign exchange collection vouchers to the agency company. The agency company collects all the tax rebate vouchers such as export customs declaration forms, foreign exchange verification forms (if required), and special value-added tax invoices within the specified time, sorts them out and enters them into the tax rebate declaration system. Then it submits the tax rebate application to the tax authorities. After the tax authorities approve it, the tax rebate amount will be refunded to the agency company's account, and the agency company will then transfer it to the export enterprise. The materials that the enterprise needs to prepare are mainly the above-mentioned customs declaration materials, foreign exchange collection vouchers and special value-added tax invoices, etc.
It should be noted that the whole process must strictly comply with relevant regulations and time nodes.
