The tax rebate for agency exports is generally given to the entrusting party. This is because the entrusting party is the real main body of production or sales of export goods. The relevant taxes such as value-added tax on export goods were originally paid by the entrusting party, so the tax rebate should belong to the entrusting party.
In actual operations, the entrusting party needs to meet certain conditions, such as having the status of a general taxpayer. The agency usually only assists in handling the tax rebate procedures and charges an agency fee according to the agency agreement and does not enjoy the tax rebate amount.
However, if the agency fails to operate in accordance with the regulations and causes problems with the tax rebate, such as failing to submit materials in a timely manner, etc., the agency shall bear corresponding responsibilities. If the entrusting party provides false information, etc., the responsibility lies with the entrusting party. In short, only by clarifying the responsibilities of each party and operating according to the prescribed procedures can the tax rebate be completed smoothly.
