The process of export tax rebate for agency exports is usually handled by the consignor, but it can also be handled on behalf by the agent (the entrusted party), which is specifically determined through negotiation between the two parties. If it is handled by the agent, the process is as follows: First, the agent needs to collect all the relevant vouchers within each value-added tax declaration period from the next month after the date of customs declaration of the goods for export until April 30th of the following year, and apply to the competent tax authority for the declaration of exemption and refund of value-added tax and consumption tax for exported goods.
When handling it, it is necessary to submit materials such as the Summary Declaration Form for Export Tax Rebate of Foreign Trade Enterprises, the Detailed Purchase Declaration Form for Export Tax Rebate of Foreign Trade Enterprises, and the Detailed Export Declaration Form for Export Tax Rebate of Foreign Trade Enterprises.
Meanwhile, the agent should ensure the accuracy of the declared data and the authenticity and validity of the provided vouchers. In addition, attention should also be paid to the time nodes, as late declaration may result in the inability to handle tax rebates. When the agent handles tax rebates, it can utilize its professional knowledge and experience to improve the handling efficiency, but the consignor also needs to actively cooperate by providing relevant materials.

Generally speaking, if the agent is experienced, it may be more efficient to let the agent handle the tax rebates. They are familiar with the process and can avoid many troubles. However, the consignor must provide all kinds of required documents in a timely manner, such as purchase invoices.

If the consignor itself has a professional financial team and has a good understanding of tax rebate policies, it can also handle it by itself. But if it is not familiar with it, it is better to leave it to the agent. After all, they handle more cases and are less likely to make mistakes.

Regardless of who handles it, attention must be paid to the integrity and accuracy of the materials. For example, the information on the customs declaration form should match that of other vouchers, otherwise it will affect the progress of tax rebates.
