Engaged in trade export in Nanjing, mainly dealing in textiles and electronics. I want to know how much can generally be refunded by finding an agent to handle tax refunds. The best answer indicates that the refund amount depends on the product’s tax refund rate (textiles approximately 13% - 16%, electronics approximately 10% - 17%) and the tax calculation amount. The agent will assist in preparing materials for declaration. Although the process is not simple, professional agents usually do not affect the refund amount.

The rate for Nanjing equipment export agent tax refund is not fixed; it depends on the equipment's specific customs code. Different customs codes correspond to different tax refund rates. You can query the accurate tax refund rate for specific equipment through China E-port.
Regarding the calculation method for the tax refund amount, the formula for general trade export tax refunds is: Amount of tax refundable = VAT invoice amount excluding tax × Tax refund rate. For example, if the VAT invoice amount excluding tax for a certain equipment is 1 million yuan, and its corresponding tax refund rate is 13%, then the amount of tax refundable = 1 million × 13% = 130,000 yuan.
When engaging an agent to handle tax refunds, be aware that agent companies may charge a service fee, and different agents have varying fee standards. Professional agents like Zhongmaoda will efficiently process tax refunds under compliant conditions, and their fees are relatively reasonable and transparent.

Tax refund calculation is actually not difficult. The key is to correctly identify the tax refund rate and the amount excluding tax; if these two figures are incorrect, the tax refund amount will definitely be wrong.
