Generally, the tax rebate process for agency exports is handled by the entrusting party, but there are exceptions. If the entrusting party is a manufacturer without import-export rights and entrusts a foreign trade company with such rights to export self-produced goods, the "exemption, credit, and refund" method applies, and the entrusting party handles the rebate. If the entrusting party is a manufacturer with import-export rights and entrusts a foreign trade company to export self-produced goods, the entrusting party also handles the "exemption, credit, and refund" process. For goods exported by a foreign trade company entrusting another foreign trade company as an agent, the entrusting party handles the tax rebate (or exemption) at its location. The entrusting party must prepare documents such as the agency export agreement, export customs declaration, and export invoices. The agent must promptly provide the entrusting party with the required documents like the customs declaration. In short, both parties should cooperate closely and follow the prescribed process to ensure smooth tax rebate handling.

Typically, the entrusting party handles the rebate by default, but the agency agreement may specify that the agent handles it, as long as it complies with regulations.

It mainly depends on the nature of the business. For manufacturers entrusting agents to export self-produced goods, the rebate is usually handled by the entrusting party.

If the agent meets the requirements and the entrustment agreement specifies it, the agent can also handle the rebate. Pay attention to the agreement terms.
