In the agency export business, under normal circumstances, the entrusting party should handle the export tax refund. This is because the entrusting party is the actual exporter of the goods and bears the profit and loss of the goods' sales, etc. However, the entrusted party needs to provide relevant documents such as the Certificate of Agency Export Goods to the entrusting party.
The process of handling the tax refund is roughly as follows: The entrusting party first prepares documents such as the Export Goods Customs Declaration Form, a copy of the Agency Export Agreement, and the Export Invoice. Then, within the specified period, the tax refund declaration is made through relevant systems such as the Electronic Tax Bureau. After the tax authority accepts it, it will conduct a review, and the tax refund can be obtained once the review is passed.
Different regions may have differences in details. It is recommended to pay attention to the requirements of the local tax department. You can also consult professional tax consultants to avoid mistakes.
