For the tax refund of export agency, the subject of the tax refund is usually the Entrusting Party. The reason is that the Entrusting Party is the actual exporter and seller of the goods, undertakes the ownership of the goods and the related risks and rewards in the export business, so it enjoys the tax refund rights.
The general process is as follows: The Entrusting Party and the Agent first sign an export agency agreement to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties. After the goods are exported, the Agent is responsible for collecting the customs declaration forms, invoices and other information required for tax refunds and handing them over to the Entrusting Party. The Entrusting Party applies for tax refunds to the local tax authorities with these information.
It should be noted that the Entrusting Party should ensure that its export business is real and compliant, and the information provided is accurate; the Agent should transmit the information in a timely manner and assist the Entrusting Party in handling tax refunds. If either party operates improperly, it may affect the progress of tax refunds or even lead to the failure of tax refunds.
