Processing re-export trade generally cannot receive a tax refund. Re-export trade refers to trade conducted between the goods' country of origin and the goods' country of consumption, or between the goods' supplying country and demanding country, where a third-country trader signs separate import and export contracts. Since the goods have not undergone substantial processing and value-added domestically, they do not meet the conditions for export tax refunds.
However, if the processing takes place domestically and certain conditions are met, a tax refund may be applied for in some cases. Firstly, the enterprise must possess import and export operating rights. Secondly, the processed products must actually leave the country. Lastly, legitimate and valid purchase invoices must be obtained as per regulations. The tax refund process is roughly as follows: after the enterprise declares the goods for export and handles them as sales in its accounting, it applies for a tax refund with the competent tax authority, submitting relevant documents. After verification, if everything is correct, the tax authority will process the tax refund according to regulations.

Generally, no tax refund can be obtained because re-export trade goods are not processed domestically to a degree that meets tax refund standards, which differs from the situation of regular export goods.

It cannot be simply said whether a tax refund is possible. The key depends on the nature of the processing and the trade process. If the processing is deep processing and complete procedures are in place, a tax refund might be possible.
