For tax refunds in export agency arrangements, generally, the entrusting party is responsible for handling the tax refunds. This is because the entrusting party is the actual producer and seller of the goods, owns the ownership of the goods and bears the corresponding risks.
The specific process is as follows: After the goods are exported and all the relevant documents are collected as required, the entrusting party shall apply to the competent tax authorities for tax refunds. The required documents usually include the customs declaration form for exported goods, export invoices, certificates of goods exported by agency, etc.
Regarding the tax refund qualifications of the entrusting party, it must be a general VAT taxpayer, and the exported goods must be within the scope of VAT and consumption tax collection. If the entrusting party is a manufacturing enterprise, the exemption, credit and refund method shall be implemented; if it is a foreign trade enterprise, the exemption and refund method shall be implemented. The agency party is mainly responsible for issuing certificates of goods exported by agency to the entrusting party and assisting the entrusting party to complete the tax refund work.

Generally speaking, it is the entrusting party that is eligible for tax refunds because the entrusting party is the owner and seller of the goods. The agency party only provides agency services and does not involve the transfer of actual ownership of the goods. Therefore, the subject of tax refunds is the entrusting party.

The subject of tax refunds in export agency arrangements is indeed usually the entrusting party. The agency party plays an auxiliary role in this process, such as providing export-related information in a timely manner and assisting in sorting out documents, etc., to facilitate the smooth completion of tax refunds by the entrusting party.
