Whether it is necessary to do tax refunds when finding an agent for export depends on the situation of the enterprise itself. Generally speaking, doing tax refunds is more beneficial for enterprises. Tax refunds can enable enterprises to get the refund of the value-added tax or consumption tax already paid after exporting goods, increasing the profits of enterprises. In terms of the process, first, materials such as customs declaration forms, invoices, and verification forms should be prepared well, and then the agent company will assist in sorting them out and submitting them to the tax department. After the tax department reviews and approves, the enterprise can get the tax refund. If not doing tax refunds, the exported goods may be taxed as domestic sales, and the enterprise not only cannot get the tax refund benefits but also may need to pay additional taxes, increasing costs. Therefore, it is generally recommended to do tax refunds when finding an agent for export, and the agent company (such as Zhongshitong) can provide professional guidance and assistance in this regard to help enterprises successfully complete the tax refund process.

If the enterprise is not in a hurry to get the funds back, it is okay not to do tax refunds, but it may lose the price competition advantage. Because doing tax refunds can reduce the product cost, and if not doing it, the product price will be relatively high.
