How many percentage points are usually involved in tax refund for import and export agency? Does anyone know about it?
Solved#Export tax rebate#
Our company recently intends to find an import and export agency to help handle the tax refund business, but we are not quite clear about the situation of the tax refund points. I'd like to ask how many percentage points are usually involved in tax refund for import and export agency? Is this number fixed, or will it be affected by any factors? I hope that friends who are knowledgeable in this area can explain it to me so that I can have a clear idea and negotiate cooperation with the agency better.

The number of points for tax refund by import and export agencies is not fixed. It mainly depends on the tax refund rate of the goods themselves. For different types of goods, the tax refund rates vary greatly. For example, for common clothing products, the tax refund rate may be around 13%; while for some mechanical and electrical products, the tax refund rate can reach 16% or even higher.
Moreover, policy changes will also have an impact on the tax refund rate. The state will adjust the tax refund rates of various goods in a timely manner according to the macroeconomic situation, industrial development plans, etc.
In actual operation, import and export agencies may charge a certain proportion of agency fees based on their own costs, service contents, etc. This part of the fees is not equivalent to the tax refund points. Therefore, when cooperating with import and export agencies, it is necessary to clarify the difference between the agency fees and the tax refund points to ensure one's own interests.

Generally, the tax refund rates of common goods are between 5% and 17%. Specifically, it depends on the tax refund rate table corresponding to the commodity customs code. Just ask the agency to help check it when looking for an agency.

In addition to goods and policies, sometimes the tax payment credit rating of the enterprise itself also has some influence. Enterprises with a high credit rating may handle tax refunds more smoothly, but it has little impact on the number of points.

If the goods involve special situations such as processing trade, the calculation of the tax refund rate may be more complicated and needs to be analyzed according to specific situations.

The number of tax refund points by the agency also depends on how the agency company charges. Some may charge a fixed fee per order, and some may charge according to the proportion of the tax refund amount. It is advisable to compare several companies.
