Export tax rebates are generally issued to the principal. Regulations stipulate that in agency export arrangements, the principal handles rebate applications. The agency only processes export procedures without receiving rebates. Principals must meet conditions: possessing export rights, exporting eligible goods (e.g., VAT/consumption tax-applicable items), and submitting complete documents (customs declarations, foreign exchange verification forms, VAT invoices) to tax authorities within deadlines. Even if the agency exports under its name for operational reasons, rebates remain the principal's entitlement upon tax authority confirmation.
Thus, your company, as the principal, is typically the rebate recipient.

Normally, rebates go to the actual owner of exported goods. In agency exports, the principal owns the goods and thus receives rebates, while the agency merely provides services.
