The tax payment for agency export service fees mainly involves value-added tax and additional taxes and fees. Firstly, in terms of value-added tax, when general taxpayers provide agency export services, the value-added tax rate is 6%. The taxable amount = the output tax amount of the current period - the input tax amount of the current period. The output tax amount = the sales amount × the tax rate. Here, the sales amount is the charged agency export service fee. The levy rate for small-scale taxpayers is 3% (currently, due to the impact of the epidemic, there are phased preferential policies, and it may be 1%). The taxable amount = the sales amount × the levy rate.
The additional taxes and fees are calculated based on the actually paid value-added tax. The urban maintenance and construction tax has a rate of 7% in urban areas, 5% in county seats and towns, and 1% in other areas; the education surcharge rate is 3%, and the local education surcharge rate is generally 2%.
The tax payment process usually involves logging in to the e-tax bureau within the stipulated tax declaration period, filling in the corresponding declaration forms for declaration and payment. If it involves export tax rebates, the process will be relatively more complicated and relevant materials need to be provided as required to handle it.

If it is a small-scale taxpayer and the quarterly sales amount does not exceed 450,000 (including agency export service fees), value-added tax is exempted, and the corresponding additional taxes and fees are also exempted. Remember to pay attention to the validity period of the policy and make accurate declarations.

When paying taxes for agency export service fees, the income should be accurately calculated and not be confused with the income from other businesses. In addition, relevant contracts, invoices and other materials should be well preserved for tax inspections.

If it involves cross-border agency export services and meets the conditions, it may be applicable to the zero value-added tax rate or tax exemption policy. Pay attention to the policy in a timely manner and apply as required.

Financial personnel should regularly study tax policies because tax rates, preferential policies, etc. may be adjusted to avoid tax payment errors due to unfamiliarity with the policies.

When calculating the value-added tax for agency export service fees, if the sales amount includes out-of-price fees, they should also be included in the sales amount for tax calculation.

If the company has both domestic sales and agency export service businesses at the same time, they should be accounted for separately, otherwise it may affect the enjoyment of tax preferential policies.
