The tax refund for agency exports is generally applied for by the entrusting party. According to relevant regulations, for goods exported by entrusted agency, the entrusting party shall handle the tax refund. The entrusting party needs to apply for the tax refund to the competent tax authorities in accordance with the regulations after the goods are declared for export and treated as sales in financial terms.
When the entrusting party applies for the tax refund, it needs to provide materials such as the Certificate of Agency Export Goods, the Export Goods Declaration Form, and the Export Proceeds Verification Form. The agency export company should issue the Certificate of Agency Export Goods to the entrusting party in a timely manner after the goods are exported.
Such regulations are to clarify the subject of tax refund and ensure the standardization and accuracy of the tax refund process. If the agency export company exports in its own name, it may lead to problems such as incorrect subject of tax refund. Therefore, your company, as the entrusting party, should prepare the materials and apply for the tax refund in a timely manner in accordance with the regulations to protect its own rights and interests.

Usually, it is the entrusting party that applies for the tax refund, because the entrusting party is the actual owner and seller of the goods, and the agency company only provides export services, so the right to tax refund belongs to the entrusting party.

Generally, the entrusting party applies for the tax refund. However, the prerequisite is that the entrusting party and the agency party should communicate well in advance, clarify their respective responsibilities, and ensure the smooth transfer of tax refund materials without affecting the progress of the tax refund application.

It must be the entrusting party. The agency export company only assists in handling relevant procedures, and ultimately the tax refund is given to the entrusting party, because the entrusting party bears the main costs and benefits of the goods.

The entrusting party applies for the tax refund, which is relatively clear in tax regulations. The agency export company is mainly responsible for the business operations in the export link, and the tax refund is still the matter of the entrusting party.
