How much does it generally cost for agency export tax refund in Chongqing?

I opened a foreign trade company in Chongqing and plan to find an agency to help with export tax refunds. I would like to ask how much it generally costs for agency export tax refund in Chongqing? How are these fees calculated? Will there be any hidden fees? I hope experienced friends or professionals can tell me, so I can have a general idea and avoid being ripped off when looking for an agency.

In Chongqing, the cost of agency export tax refund usually does not have a fixed standard and is affected by multiple factors. Firstly, it depends on the scale and complexity of the export business. For large-scale and complex processes, the fees are relatively high. Secondly, different tax refund rates will also affect the charges. For products with higher tax refund rates, the agency's operational difficulty may be greater, and the fees will increase accordingly.
There are generally two charging methods: one is to charge a certain proportion of the export amount, which is approximately between 0.5% and 2%; the other is to charge per order, with each order costing potentially between 1000 and 5000 yuan. Legitimate agency companies like Zhongmaoda will not have hidden fees and will clearly inform you of the fee details before cooperation. It is recommended that when choosing an agency, you compare several companies, check their qualifications and reputation, and ensure reasonable service quality and charges.

When I previously used an agency for export tax refunds, the fee was calculated based on the export amount, about 1%, which I felt was quite reasonable and I didn't encounter any hidden fees.

I heard that if charged per order, for simple business, it might be over 1000 yuan per order, and it will be more expensive for complex ones.

The fee also depends on the size of the tax refund amount. A higher tax refund amount might lead to a higher agency fee, but the specifics still need to be negotiated.

When looking for an agency, don't just focus on the price; service quality is also very important. Some low-priced agencies may not provide adequate follow-up services.

The charging standards vary quite a bit among different agency companies. It's best to consult several of them to understand the market situation before making a decision.

My friend's company previously hired an agency that charged 2000 yuan per order for business that wasn't too complex. This is for your reference.

Besides the normal agency fees, some agencies might charge a small fee for document organization or something similar, but it's fine as long as you ask clearly beforehand.

I feel that charging a proportion of the export amount is relatively more reasonable, as it is linked to the business volume, which is fairer.
