“Mr. Zhang recently received an overseas order and thought he could make a fortune, but when he settled the accounts, he found that his profit had'shrunk' by 30% - where was the problem? It turned out that he overlooked the crucial link of export tax rebate.” If you, like Mr. Zhang, have only a half-baked understanding of agency declaration for export tax rebate, this article is prepared for you. We will use the most straightforward language to decompose the declaration logic of export tax rebate, common "pitfalls", and how to save trouble and effort through professional agency.

The essence of export tax rebate is to refund the value-added tax and consumption tax that have been paid, avoiding double taxation in international transactions. Take Ms. Li's garment factory as an example: Suppose a batch of goods worth 1 million yuan is exported, and 130,000 yuan of value-added tax has been paid in the domestic procurement link. If the tax rebate is successfully declared, this 130,000 yuan can "recover", directly increasing the net profit margin.

• Tax rebate rate: The tax rebate rates for different goods range from 5% to 17% (latest catalog for 2023)

Although the policy encourages enterprises to declare on their own, in practice, they often face:

• Material Complexity: 12 types of documents such as the customs declaration form, value-added tax invoice, and foreign exchange receipt certificate are all indispensable
• Rapid Policy Changes: New declaration rules for the cross-border e-commerce 9810 model in 2023
• Audit Risk: A certain enterprise was required to recover the tax rebate and late payment fees due to the inconsistency between the invoice item name and the customs declaration form
