The general process for agency export tax rebates is as follows: First, the company needs to sign a (entrustment and agency agreement) with the agency to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties. After that, the company needs to promptly provide the agency with relevant documents such as the export customs declaration form, foreign exchange verification form, and value-added tax (VAT) special invoice. Upon receiving the documents, the agency will perform data entry and review, generate tax rebate declaration data, and submit it to the tax authorities for declaration. Once approved by the tax authorities, the tax refund will be issued to the company.
The documents that companies need to prepare include: export goods customs declaration form, export invoice, VAT special invoice, foreign exchange receipt voucher, etc. The fee standard is usually determined comprehensively based on the export business volume, complexity of the business, etc., and there is no unified standard. It generally ranges from a few thousand yuan to over ten thousand yuan.

When processing, pay attention to the time nodes. For example, the export tax rebate must be declared within 90 days of the customs declaration form. Agents will generally remind you, but you should also be aware of it yourself to avoid missing the deadline for tax rebates.
