In the agency export tax rebate business, generally, the foreign exchange receipt entity can be either the principal or the agent. If the agent handles the foreign exchange receipt, it should promptly settle the foreign exchange to the principal as agreed after receiving it. This requires the agent to have good credibility and fund management capabilities to ensure the principal's fund safety.
If the principal handles the foreign exchange receipt on its own, it needs to communicate and coordinate well with the agent to ensure that the foreign exchange receipt information can be accurately used for export tax rebate declaration. It should be noted that regardless of who handles the foreign exchange receipt, the authenticity and legality of the foreign exchange receipt must be guaranteed, and the amount, time, etc. of the foreign exchange receipt should match the export business. The tax authorities will strictly review the foreign exchange receipt situation. Only when it complies with the regulations can the export tax rebate process be successfully completed.
In actual operation, both parties should clarify the foreign exchange receipt entity and related responsibilities in the agency agreement to avoid subsequent disputes.

The foreign exchange receipt entity depends on how it is agreed upon in the agency contract. After the agreement is made, just follow the contract, which can reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles.

From the perspective of operational convenience, it may be more convenient for the agent to handle the foreign exchange receipt to uniformly process the export tax rebate process, but the premise is that the agent is reliable and the fund flow is guaranteed.
