Does agent export require tax refund declaration? Come and find out!
Resolved
Our company has found an agent to help export products. We want to know if in this case of agent export, tax refunds do not need to be declared? This is because I heard that the regulations for agent export and self-operated export tax refunds are quite different, and I am not clear about the specific operations. If tax refunds are not declared, will there be any risks? I hope someone can explain in detail how agent exports are regulated regarding tax refunds.

Whether agent export requires tax refund declaration depends on the situation. If the entrusting party is a general VAT taxpayer and the exported goods are subject to VAT refund (exemption) policy, then the entrusting party shall declare the tax refund. The agent shall issue a certificate of goods exported by agent to the entrusting party. The entrusting party shall declare the tax refund with this certificate and other required documents.
If the entrusting party is a small-scale taxpayer and the exported goods are subject to VAT exemption policy, the agent shall also issue a certificate of goods exported by agent, and the entrusting party shall handle the tax exemption declaration accordingly.
If tax refunds are not declared, for goods applicable to tax refund (exemption) policies, they may be deemed as domestic sales and taxed. Not only will the tax refund benefits not be obtained, but the corporate tax burden may also increase. For goods applicable to exemption policies, failure to declare exemption may lead to tax risks and penalties from the tax authorities. Therefore, agent export must accurately declare tax refunds or exemptions according to regulations.
