What is the tax rate for agency import income? Do you know?
Solved#Import agent#
Our company recently intends to carry out agency import business and wants to know about the tax rate situation of agency import income. I don't know how the tax rates in this regard are regulated. Is it a unified tax rate, or will it vary according to different commodity categories? In addition, what are the tax rates of value-added tax, income tax, etc. in the agency import business respectively? I hope that professionals can help answer this question. Thank you!

The tax rate involved in agency import income mainly depends on the specific nature of the business and the type of tax. Generally speaking, if the agency import business belongs to brokerage agency services, the value-added tax rate is 6%. If it is a small-scale taxpayer, the applicable levy rate is 3%. In 2023, small-scale taxpayers who meet the conditions can pay value-added tax at a reduced levy rate of 1%.
For enterprise income tax, agency import income is incorporated into the enterprise's taxable income. Generally, enterprises apply a tax rate of 25%. If an enterprise meets the tax preferential conditions such as being a small and micro-profit enterprise, it can apply a lower tax rate, such as 20%, and there are corresponding policies for reducing the taxable income. Here, it does not involve the tax rate differences of the commodities themselves, but mainly the tax rate regulations for service income. It should be noted that the specific implementation should be determined according to the local tax policies and the actual business situation.

If agency import only provides agency services, value-added tax is paid according to the service industry. For general taxpayers, it is 6%, and for small-scale taxpayers, it was 3% before, and now there are preferential policies. The income tax depends on the overall profit situation of the enterprise and the applicable policies.
