# What specific conditions must goods exported to Taiwan meet to qualify for the compliant export tax rebate policy?

## Question

 I run a factory in Shanghai focusing on small electromechanical accessory production. We just signed an order worth 300,000 RMB with a customer in Kaohsiung, Taiwan last week, and this is our first export business to Taiwan. Previously, we only engaged in export business for EU and Southeast Asian markets, and all tax rebate procedures were handled by agency companies. We want to try to operate it on our own this time, but our financial colleague reminded me that the tax rebate rules for exports to Taiwan may be different from those for general overseas exports. Yesterday I saw a post on a peer's social media feed saying that a batch of goods they exported to Taiwan last year failed to get tax rebates due to non-standard declaration operations, and was even required by the tax authority to pay value-added tax and late fees as domestic sales, which makes me anxious. I want to know whether our batch of goods can apply for export tax rebate, what specific conditions we need to meet, and what pitfalls we must avoid during declaration.

### Answer 1 — Best Answer

First，we need to clarify common industry misunderstandings: Many enterprises mistakenly believe that exports to Taiwan are not "overseas exports" and thus are not eligible for tax rebates，or that tax rebates can be applied for only with a customs declaration form，which is a serious misinterpretation of the policy. If operations are carried out based on such wrong understandings，the tax rebate declaration will be rejected first. If it is not corrected in time，the tax authority will deem the batch of goods as domestic sales，require the enterprise to pay value-added tax and a late fee of 0.05% per day，and also lower the enterprise's tax credit rating. When applying for tax rebates or other tax incentives in the future，the enterprise will be subject to key inspection，which may even affect bank credit granting.

To isolate such risks，you need to **strictly check three core conditions**: First，the goods must actually depart from the territory and obtain the export declaration form (tax rebate copy) issued by the customs，second，the enterprise must be a general VAT payer and has paid the input value-added tax for the corresponding goods，third，the foreign exchange receipt must be completed before April 30 of the year following the customs declaration for export. At the same time，trade modes shall be distinguished. If the "small-scale trade with Taiwan" supervision mode is selected and the goods value is less than 50,000 US dollars，the tax rebate copy cannot be obtained，and only the tax exemption policy can be enjoyed.

Exclusive loss mitigation tips: If there is a declaration error，you need to supplement and submit the customs declaration form，foreign exchange receipt voucher and special VAT invoice to apply for corrected declaration within 3 working days after receiving the notice from the tax authority，if it has been determined to be deemed as domestic sales，you can apply to the tax authority for review with the formal contract for trade with Taiwan and logistics track screenshots，so as to get the determination of deemed domestic sales revoked and reduce losses.

### Answer 2

The customs declaration link for exports to Taiwan directly determines the validity of tax rebate qualifications, and three core fields on the customs declaration form need to be focused on: export port, mode of transport, and trade mode. If the "small-scale trade with Taiwan" supervision mode is selected and the goods value is less than 50,000 US dollars, the customs will only issue the declaration form certification copy, without the special tax rebate copy, so export tax rebate cannot be applied for; if the "general trade" supervision mode is selected, it is necessary to ensure that the goods name, specification model, and quantity on the customs declaration form are completely consistent with those on the special VAT invoice, and the "final destination country" must be accurately filled in as "Taiwan, China", and other countries or regions shall not be filled in.

In addition, documents such as the packing list, invoice and contract of the goods shall be submitted synchronously during customs declaration. If the information on the customs declaration form is inconsistent with the documents, you need to apply for deleting the declaration form and re-declaring within 10 working days after the goods depart from the territory. You cannot correct the information after the time limit, which will directly lead to the rejection of the tax rebate declaration by the tax authority, and even trigger tax inspection.

### Answer 3

The logistics operation for exports to Taiwan shall strictly meet the tax rebate requirements, and focus on ensuring the complete retention of vouchers for the actual departure of goods from the territory. At present, there are two main modes of logistics to Taiwan: direct shipping and transshipment. If the transshipment route is selected, it is necessary to ensure that the logistics service provider at the transshipment port provides the full ocean bill of lading, and the "port of discharge" on the bill of lading is clearly marked as the specific port in Taiwan region, and there shall be no tampered or blurred transshipment records of third-party countries or regions.

In addition, you need to retain the customs manifest information after the goods depart from the territory, real-time screenshots of logistics tracks, delivery receipt vouchers, etc. If the tax authority requires to verify the actual departure of the goods later, these vouchers can be used as the core basis to prove the authenticity of the export. If the manifest information is inconsistent with the customs declaration form due to the operation error of the logistics service provider, you need to require the service provider to correct the manifest information before the completion of foreign exchange receipt, otherwise it will directly affect the authenticity verification of the tax rebate declaration, and even be determined as "false export" by the tax authority, facing tax payment and credit penalties.

### Answer 4

The core rules of the tax rebate policy for exports to Taiwan are consistent with those for general overseas exports, but special attention should be paid to matching the VAT deduction and declaration rhythm. Enterprises shall ensure that they have obtained legal and valid special VAT invoices for goods exported to Taiwan, and the invoice issuance date shall be before the goods are declared and departed from the territory.

If the invoice issuance date is later than the customs declaration date, supporting materials such as the warehouse receipt of the goods leaving the warehouse in advance and the logistics delivery note shall be supplemented, otherwise the corresponding input tax cannot be deducted, and export tax rebate cannot be applied for. In addition, if the enterprise has both export business to Taiwan and domestic sales business, it shall separately account for the input tax of the export business to Taiwan, and shall not mix it with the input tax of the domestic sales business.

If separate accounting is not carried out as required, the tax authority will apportion the input tax according to the sales ratio of the two types of business, directly leading to a significant reduction in the applicable tax rebate amount. It should be noted that small-scale taxpayers cannot enjoy the tax rebate policy for exports to Taiwan, and can only enjoy the VAT exemption policy, so there is no need to declare tax rebates.

### Answer 5

The foreign exchange receipt operation for exports to Taiwan shall strictly meet the compliance requirements for tax rebates, and the core is to ensure that the foreign exchange receipt entity is completely consistent with the export operating unit on the customs declaration form. It is not allowed to receive foreign exchange through third-party personal accounts, offshore accounts or affiliated company accounts, otherwise it will be determined by the tax authority as "inconsistent foreign exchange receipt entity", and directly fail to pass the authenticity verification of tax rebates. The foreign exchange receipt currency can be RMB or foreign currency freely.

If RMB is selected for foreign exchange receipt, it shall be handled through the CIPS cross-border RMB payment system, and the voucher issued by the receiving bank shall be clearly marked with "foreign exchange receipt for trade with Taiwan"; if foreign currency is selected for foreign exchange receipt, foreign exchange settlement or entry into the enterprise's account to be verified shall be completed within 30 working days after receiving the foreign exchange, and it shall not be retained in overseas accounts for a long time. In addition, if the Taiwan customer fails to pay foreign exchange overdue due to capital turnover problems, you shall submit the "Declaration Form for Inability to Receive Foreign Exchange for Export Goods" and supporting materials such as the overdue payment explanation issued by the customer and communication records between the two parties to the competent tax authority before the deadline for tax rebate declaration, otherwise the batch of goods will be deemed as domestic sales, and the corresponding value-added tax and late fees shall be paid.

### Answer 6

The trade contract for exports to Taiwan is an important auxiliary voucher for tax rebate review, and core clauses shall be clearly agreed to meet the tax rebate compliance requirements. The name of the buyer on the contract shall be completely consistent with the actual foreign exchange receipt entity of the Taiwan customer. If the buyer is a trade agency company in Taiwan region, the full name, address and unified social credit code (or industrial and commercial registration number of Taiwan region) of the final consignee shall be indicated in the annex to the contract, otherwise the tax authority will question the authenticity of the transaction and trigger letter verification. In addition, the contract shall clearly stipulate that "the goods shall be formally declared and departed from the territory through the customs of the Chinese mainland".

If non-formal customs declaration methods such as "buyer self-pickup" and "third-party customs clearance" are agreed, the enterprise will not be able to obtain the tax rebate copy of the export declaration form, and directly lose the tax rebate qualification. If the tax rebate review is blocked due to vague clauses in the original contract, you shall timely negotiate with the customer to sign a supplementary agreement to clarify the compliance details of the transaction. The supplementary agreement shall be stamped with the official seals of both companies, and submitted to the competent tax authority synchronously as an auxiliary review basis, otherwise the tax rebate verification cannot be passed.

### Answer 7

The filing of tax rebate documents for exports to Taiwan shall be carried out in strict accordance with the requirements of the competent tax authority. The filing scope includes five core documents: export declaration form (tax rebate copy), special VAT invoice (deduction copy), trade contract, logistics bill of lading, and foreign exchange receipt voucher. Paper or electronic filing shall be completed within 15 working days after the tax rebate declaration, and all filed documents shall be kept for more than 10 years for subsequent verification by the tax authority.

If the tax authority initiates letter verification for the export business to Taiwan, the enterprise shall submit all filed documents and transaction auxiliary vouchers, such as goods delivery note, packing list, logistics track screenshot, customer communication record, etc. within 10 working days after receiving the letter verification notice. If the complete vouchers cannot be submitted in time, the tax rebate review will be suspended, and even the tax rebate application will be directly rejected. In addition, if the enterprise's tax rebate declarations for exports to Taiwan are subject to letter verification for 3 consecutive times, it shall voluntarily submit a special self-inspection report on the trade business with Taiwan to the competent tax authority, detailing the authenticity, compliance and operation process of the transaction, otherwise it will be listed as a key monitoring enterprise by the tax authority, and all subsequent tax rebate declarations will be strictly inspected.

### Answer 8

The supply chain cost of exports to Taiwan shall be finely optimized in combination with the tax rebate policy to maximize benefits. If the enterprise chooses to handle tax rebates by itself, it shall calculate the compliance costs of customs declaration, logistics, foreign exchange receipt, document processing and other links in advance. If the total compliance cost exceeds the applicable tax rebate amount, you can choose to voluntarily give up the tax rebate and apply for the VAT exemption policy to reduce the overall operating cost.

In addition, if the enterprise's export business to Taiwan is large and stable, it can negotiate with Taiwan customers to adopt the FOB trade term, where the customer is responsible for overseas logistics and customs clearance links, and the enterprise is only responsible for domestic customs declaration and shipment, which can effectively reduce logistics costs, ensure the authenticity and compliance of export declaration forms, and improve the pass rate of tax rebate review. If the raw materials of the goods exported to Taiwan are imported from Taiwan region, the enterprise can adopt the processing trade mode with imported materials to offset the bonded amount of imported raw materials with the tax rebate amount of exported goods, further reduce the overall tax cost and optimize the capital flow of the supply chain.

If the enterprise chooses to handle tax rebates by itself, it shall calculate the compliance costs of customs declaration, logistics, foreign exchange receipt, document processing and other links in advance. If the total compliance cost exceeds the applicable tax rebate amount, you can choose to voluntarily give up the tax rebate and apply for the VAT exemption policy to reduce the overall operating cost. In addition, if the enterprise's export business to Taiwan is large and stable, it can negotiate with Taiwan customers to adopt the FOB trade term, where the customer is responsible for overseas logistics and customs clearance links, and the enterprise is only responsible for domestic customs declaration and shipment, which can effectively reduce logistics costs, ensure the authenticity and compliance of export declaration forms, and improve the pass rate of tax rebate review. If the raw materials of the goods exported to Taiwan are imported from Taiwan region, the enterprise can adopt the processing trade mode with imported materials to offset the bonded amount of imported raw materials with the tax rebate amount of exported goods, further reduce the overall tax cost and optimize the capital flow of the supply chain.",
