Under normal circumstances, the tax refund for goods exported through an agency is handled by the principal. This is because the principal is the actual manufacturer and seller of the exported goods, owns the ownership of the goods, and assumes corresponding risks.
The specific process is roughly as follows: The principal first provides relevant export materials such as the customs declaration form and invoice to the agency. The agency assists in sorting and transmitting them to the principal. Then the principal conducts tax refund declarations through channels such as the Electronic Tax Bureau.
The materials that the principal needs to prepare usually include the export goods customs declaration form, special VAT invoice, export agency agreement, etc.
The possible risks of tax refund include the risk of tax fraud due to false materials, missing the tax refund deadline due to untimely declaration, etc. Therefore, both the principal and the agency need to operate in strict accordance with the regulations to ensure the smooth progress of the tax refund.

If it is an entrusted agency export, usually the principal handles the tax refund, but there are also special cases, such as special agreements between the two parties. If it is agreed that the agency handles the tax refund, then the agency must meet the relevant tax refund conditions. No matter who handles the tax refund, the materials must be complete and accurate.

It mainly depends on how the export agency agreement is signed. If there is no special agreement, it is the principal who handles the tax refund. The process is about preparing materials and making declarations. However, if you don't understand, it is better to consult a professional, otherwise it is easy to make mistakes.

For normal entrusted agency exports, the tax refund entity is the principal. But if the agency buys out the export, then perhaps the agency handles the tax refund. The principal should pay attention to timely collecting and sorting out tax refund materials and making declarations within the specified time.
