The handling entity of the export tax rebate for agency exports is usually determined according to the agency mode. In a regular agency export business, it is generally handled by the principal (that is, your manufacturing enterprise) for export tax rebate. Because the export tax rebate is to refund the value-added tax and consumption tax actually paid in the domestic production and circulation links of the exported goods. As the producer of the goods, your enterprise is more in line with the basis for the determination of the tax rebate conditions.
However, if there is a clear agreement in the agency agreement between the two parties, it can also be handled by the agency company. But when the agency company handles the tax rebate, it needs to rely on the relevant materials provided by the principal and conduct it in the name of the principal.
The handling process is indeed relatively complex. A series of materials such as the export goods declaration form, export invoice, and agency export agreement need to be prepared, and the declaration should be made in the Electronic Tax Bureau or the export tax rebate declaration system according to the specified process. At the same time, pay attention to the declaration deadline to avoid affecting the tax rebate due to overdue.

Generally speaking, the one who receives the foreign exchange handles the tax rebate. If the agency company is responsible for receiving the foreign exchange, it is likely that the agency company will handle the export tax rebate. Of course, this also depends on how the agency contract is signed.

From the perspective of operational convenience, if the production enterprise is familiar with the tax rebate process, it is more appropriate to handle the tax rebate by itself, so that it can keep track of the progress in a timely manner. If it is not familiar with the process, it can also entrust the agency company, as they may have more experience.
