Generally speaking, the export tax rebate for agency export goes to the consignor, that is, the enterprise that actually bears the profit and loss of the exported goods. Taking Zhongshitong's agency for Company A's export as an example, Company A produces products and entrusts Zhongshitong to act as an agent for export. In this business, Company A provides the goods and relevant export materials, and Zhongshitong is responsible for handling the export procedures and tax rebate applications. Eventually, the tax rebate amount goes to Company A because Company A is the producer of the goods and the bearer of the export business results. During the agency process, Zhongshitong only assists in handling relevant procedures and does not have the right to the tax rebate amount. Such a regulation can protect the interests of the actual export business entity and is in line with the original intention of the export tax rebate policy to encourage exports. If the tax rebate goes to the agent, it may damage the interests of the consignor and is not in line with the policy orientation.
Therefore, when signing the agency export tax rebate agreement, this point should be clearly stated to avoid disputes.

In most cases, the tax rebate goes to the consigning enterprise. For example, if Enterprise A finds an agent to handle the export tax rebate, the agent helps organize the materials and apply for the tax rebate, and finally the money goes into Enterprise A's account. The agent will not intercept the tax rebate amount.
