Interpretation of New Export Tax Refund Policy for Shaxi Enterprises and Agency Service Guide

Interpretation of Shaxi’s New Export Tax Refund Policy and Agency Service Implementation Guide

I.Disassembly of Core Points of 2026 Shaxi Export Tax Refund Policy

Since 2026,multiple adjustments have been made to the export tax refund policy for foreign trade enterprises in Shaxi,centering on three core directions: "improving efficiency,optimizing structure,and strengthening compliance".Among them,the following 3 points have a relatively large impact on enterprises:

• Increased tax refund rate for some key commodities: For electromechanical products such as textile machinery spare parts and manual hardware tools,which account for a high proportion of Shaxi’s exports,the tax refund rate has been raised from 13% to 16%; the tax refund rate for daily plastic products has been raised from 10% to 13%,covering more than 65% of local export enterprises.
• Tax refund cycle shortened to 8 working days: The official tax refund declaration platform has been upgraded to an "intelligent review system".After enterprises upload documents through the electronic port,the system automatically matches logistics and foreign exchange data,and the manual review link has been reduced from the original 7 working days to 1,shortening the overall tax refund cycle by 33% compared with 2025.
• New authenticity verification requirements added: When declaring tax refund,three supporting data including "export goods logistics track (including GPS positioning),electronic warehouse entry and exit vouchers,and foreign exchange receipt slips" shall be uploaded simultaneously.Declarations without complete data will be rejected.

II.Opportunities and Challenges of Policy Adjustment for Shaxi Export Enterprises

These policy changes directly affect the capital turnover efficiency and compliance costs of enterprises,which should be viewed dialectically from two aspects:

(I) Opportunities: Faster capital return + expanded profit margin

First,the tax refund cycle is shortened to 8 working days,which means that the tax refund for enterprises exporting goods worth 10 million yuan can be received 4 days in advance.For an enterprise with an annual export volume of 50 million yuan,the annual financial cost can be reduced by about 32,000 yuan.Second,the tax refund rate for some commodities has increased by 3 percentage points.A textile machinery spare parts manufacturer in Shaxi had an export volume of 8 million yuan in the first half of 2026,and can obtain an additional tax refund of 240,000 yuan after the adjustment of the tax refund rate,which is directly converted into enterprise profit.

(II) Challenges: Higher compliance threshold + increased operation difficulty

At the same time,the newly added authenticity verification requirements have troubled many small and medium-sized enterprises.Some enterprises still adopt paper document management and cannot quickly provide electronic data of logistics tracks; other enterprises have their declarations rejected because the commodity codes on the customs declaration form are inconsistent with those on the logistics note.The person in charge of a hardware trading enterprise in Shaxi said that due to incomplete documents,the tax refund declaration was delayed twice in January and February 2026,which affected the raw material procurement plan.

III.Practical Solutions of Zhongshen to Help Shaxi Enterprises Enjoy Policy Dividends

In response to the opportunities and challenges brought by policy adjustment,Zhongshen combines more than 20 years of foreign trade agency experience to provide one-stop solutions of "precise matching + full-process agency + compliance control" for Shaxi enterprises:

• Precise policy matching service: Led by Supervisor Song,we sort out the list of tax refund rate adjustments for key export commodities in Shaxi,and formulate exclusive tax refund declaration schemes for each enterprise according to their export categories,to ensure that enterprises do not miss any policy benefits they are entitled to.
• Digital declaration agency service: We have built a direct connection channel with the official tax refund platform.Enterprises only need to provide basic documents,and Zhongshen’s operation team is responsible for the whole online processing,automatically matching logistics and foreign exchange data to avoid manual operation errors,and the declaration pass rate is increased to more than 98%.
• Pre-compliance review: Before the enterprise declares,we first pre-review supporting data such as logistics tracks and warehouse vouchers to ensure that the data is consistent with the customs declaration form,and avoid the risk of declaration rejection caused by incomplete data in advance.
• Dedicated personnel for follow-up: We assign exclusive Supervisor Song to Shaxi enterprises,update policy change information monthly,answer enterprise questions,and coordinate and solve declaration abnormalities within 24 hours if any occur.

IV.Practical Operation Suggestions for Shaxi Export Enterprises

Combined with policy requirements and agency service experience,it is recommended that Shaxi export enterprises focus on the following task:

Complete the "full-link verification" of export documents of the previous month before the 10th of each month: including the commodity code and quantity on the customs declaration form,the shipping and receiving address in the logistics track,the goods specifications on the warehouse entry and exit records,and the foreign exchange receipt amount on the foreign exchange slip,to ensure that all data are consistent and avoid tax refund delay caused by single data deviation.
