Key Practical Points of Tax Refund Handling for Nancheng Import and Export Enterprises 2026

Interpretation of Core Points of 2026 New Tax Refund Policy for Nancheng Import and Export Enterprises

At the beginning of 2026,the State Taxation Administration and the General Administration of Customs jointly issued the latest notice on adjustment of import and export tax refund policy,optimizing the tax refund rate for key export categories in Nancheng such as electromechanical products and intelligent equipment,and upgrading the electronic declaration process.Many heads of Nancheng foreign trade enterprises said that the new policy brings opportunities for increased tax refund amount,but also puts forward higher requirements for declaration compliance.Supervisor Yan from Zhongshen recently pointed out at the Nancheng foreign trade enterprise exchange meeting that accurately grasping the key points of the new policy is the key for enterprises to enjoy the policy dividends.

I.Key Adjustments of 2026 Tax Refund Policy

This new policy is carried out around three core points,covering the main export categories of Nancheng enterprises:

• Increased tax refund rate for electromechanical products: The tax refund rate for categories such as auto parts,industrial robots and smart home appliances which was originally 13% has been increased to 16% since 2026,covering more than 60% of Nancheng’s export commodities;
• Extended declaration period: The export tax refund declaration period is extended from March 31 of the following year to April 30,the rigid regulation of "no declaration allowed after overdue" is cancelled,and eligible enterprises are allowed to apply for deferred declaration;
• Upgraded electronic data interconnection: Customs declaration data is synchronized with the tax refund system in real time,enterprises do not need to upload declaration electronic data repeatedly,and only need to confirm the automatically matched information of the system.

II.Analysis of Impact of the New Policy on Nancheng Import and Export Enterprises

Combined with the actual export structure of Nancheng enterprises,the impact of the new policy can be sorted out from two aspects: opportunities and challenges:

• Opportunities:
  • For electromechanical enterprises with increased tax refund rate,an annual export volume of 5 million yuan can get about 150,000 yuan more tax refund;
  • The extended declaration period eases the pressure of centralized declaration at the end of the year,so enterprises can organize materials more calmly;
  • Electronic data interconnection reduces the submission of paper materials,shortening the declaration cycle from 15 working days to 7-10 working days.
• Challenges:
  • The new policy requires accurate matching between commodity codes and tax refund rates,with stricter system verification,which increases the risk of false declaration;
  • The new functions of the electronic port are complex to operate,and small,medium and micro enterprises lack professional personnel,which is prone to data upload failure;
  • The tax department has refined the review of tax refund vouchers,requiring the information of invoices,customs declarations and contracts to be completely consistent,and slight deviation may lead to failure of review.
