Surprising! There are these hidden traps in the export tax rebate for consigned export goods

On the stage of international trade, the policy of export tax rebate for consigned export goods is like a double-edged sword. It not only brings real benefits to enterprises, but also hides many complex aspects. For many enterprises, this policy is like a mine containing treasures. Enterprises that know how to dig can obtain cost advantages and enhance their market competitiveness through it. Today, let's explore the mystery of the export tax rebate for consigned export goods together.

Consigned export refers to an export business in which a foreign trade enterprise or other export enterprise acts as an agent for a commissioned unit to handle the sales of export goods. Export tax rebate means that the state, in order to enhance the competitiveness of export goods, refunds the value-added tax and consumption tax actually paid in the domestic production and circulation links of export goods. When the two are combined, the principal may, in accordance with relevant policy regulations, obtain the export tax rebate amount, thus reducing the export cost.

First of all, the principal and the trustee need to sign an agency export agreement to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties. Then, the trustee is responsible for handling export customs declaration, foreign exchange collection and other formalities and timely transmit relevant documents to the principal. After receiving the documents, the principal needs to apply for tax rebate within the specified time. It should be noted here that the declaration materials must be true, accurate and complete, otherwise the tax rebate application may be rejected. For example, the enterprise where Mr. Zhang is located once had the tax rebate application delayed due to incorrect filling of the customs declaration information, which affected the capital return of the enterprise.

• Document management is crucial. Whether it is the export customs declaration form, the foreign exchange verification form or the special value-added tax invoice, etc., it should be properly kept and bound into volumes according to regulations for inspection by the tax authorities.
• The time node cannot be ignored. From the date when the goods are declared for export to the deadline for tax rebate application, the enterprise must reasonably arrange the time to ensure that the declaration work is completed on time. Missing the time may result in the loss of tax rebate qualification.
• Pay close attention to policy changes. The export tax rebate policy is not static. The state will adjust it according to the economic situation, industrial policy, etc. For example, the enterprise where Ms. Li is located benefited from the adjustment of the tax rebate policy because it timely understood the policy changes and adjusted the product structure for export.
