The company plans to find an agent for export tax refund and wants to know the general percentage (calculated as a percentage of the export amount). They are worried about differences across products and regions. The best answer states that agency export tax refund percentages are typically between 0.8 - 3 cents, influenced by factors such as product, region, and export volume. For example, product tax refund rates, coastal or inland regions, and export volume. When choosing an agent, it's important to consider multiple factors and compare options.
How much is the general export tax refund for DHL agents? Does anyone know?
Resolved
My company plans to export goods through a DHL agent, and I want to know how much the export tax refund generally is. I haven't dealt with this before, so I don't know how the tax refund ratio is determined. Is it fixed? Will it be affected by factors such as the type of goods, export region, etc.? I hope knowledgeable friends can help answer this, to give me a clearer idea so I can better plan subsequent business operations.

The specific amount of export tax refund for DHL agents is not fixed. It mainly depends on the goods' tax refund rate and the tax calculation basis for export goods. Different types of goods have different tax refund rates, as stipulated by relevant national policies. For example, electronic products and textiles may have different tax refund rates. The tax calculation basis is generally the Free On Board (FOB) price of the export goods.
To determine the specific tax refund amount, first find the tax refund rate for the corresponding goods under current policies. Then, multiply the export goods' Free On Board (FOB) price by the tax refund rate to get the approximate tax refund amount.
At the same time, the export region generally does not directly affect the tax refund rate, but trade policies in special regions may have additional regulations. It is recommended that you consult your local tax authorities or find a professional tax refund agency like Zhongmaoda. They can accurately calculate the tax refund amount based on the detailed circumstances of your exported goods.

The tax refund amount is related to the goods' HS code. Each HS code corresponds to a different tax refund rate, so you need to first determine the goods' HS code.

It also depends on whether your company is a general taxpayer or a small-scale taxpayer, as there are differences in how tax refunds are calculated for both. General taxpayers calculate based on the tax refund rate mentioned above, while small-scale taxpayers are subject to a tax exemption but no tax refund policy.
