# What are the main tax categories eligible for export tax refund? Are there differences in the scope of tax refund across different trade modes and commodity types?

## Question

 I am the head of a small and medium-sized foreign trade company in Shanghai with an annual export volume of around 20 million RMB, mainly engaged in exporting mechanical and electrical products to the EU and Southeast Asia. When following up the quarterly export tax refund declaration recently, I found that the only tax category submitted by the accountant for refund is VAT. I heard from peers that some commodity types are also eligible for consumption tax refund, but I am not sure whether our mechanical and electrical products fall into this scope. Besides, for a batch of goods transferred through inter-plant trade in the bonded zone last month, the accountant said it did not meet the refund conditions. I really can't figure out what taxes are mainly refunded for export tax refund, and why the refund scope varies so much under different trade modes. I am very anxious now, for fear of missing refundable amounts and losing profits, or triggering tax correspondence audit due to incorrect declaration, which will affect the subsequent refund progress and the company's credit, so I want to figure out these issues as soon as possible. 

## Answers
                            
### Answer 1 — Best Answer

First，we need to clarify common industry misunderstandings: many enterprises mistakenly believe that export tax refund covers all turnover taxes，or that refund can be applied for under all trade modes. These two misunderstandings are the most likely to cause actual losses. If non-refundable tax categories are incorrectly included in the declaration，it will directly lead to the failure of tax pre-declaration verification，which will not only delay the refund progress，but also may list the enterprise as a key inspection object，and all refund declarations in the following 3 months will be strictly audited by the tax authority. If refundable tax categories are missed，such as some mechanical and electrical supporting components subject to consumption tax，a single declaration may lose tens of thousands of RMB in refund，and the accumulated loss will have a great impact on the cash flow of small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises.

After deducing the chain negative reactions，physical risk isolation measures should be implemented simultaneously: first，match your own commodity types against the **Catalog of Refundable Tax Categories for Export Tax Refund** revised in 2024. Manufacturing enterprises should focus on verifying the compliance of input VAT deduction vouchers，while trading enterprises should confirm whether the tax category marking on the procurement invoice is clear. For special trade modes such as inter-plant transfer in bonded zones，submit complete trade process documents to the competent tax authority in advance to confirm whether they fall into the refund scope.

Exclusive loss-stopping tip: use the official **Export Tax Refund Pre-declaration System** of the tax authority to verify the matching degree of tax categories before monthly declaration. If you find that refundable consumption tax is not included in the declaration，supplement the copy of consumption tax payment voucher in time，revise and submit it before the declaration deadline，so that the missed refund amount can be fully recovered.

### Answer 2

From the perspective of customs declaration, the tax category declaration corresponding to export tax refund must strictly match the supervision mode indicated on the customs declaration form. For example, the customs declaration form for general trade (supervision code 0110) must clearly indicate the VAT rate of the exported goods.

If the commodity name on the customs declaration form is inconsistent with that on the VAT invoice, even if the commodity falls into the refundable scope, the tax authority will judge the documents as inconsistent and the refund application will not pass the audit. In addition, for goods departing from special supervision zones, such as goods exported from bonded logistics center (Type B), the "application for tax refund form" must be checked on the customs declaration form.

If it is not checked, the tax authority cannot obtain valid declaration certificates, resulting in the rejection of the refund application. Enterprises should compare the commodity name, specification and quantity on the VAT invoice, purchase and sales contract and customs declaration form 24 hours before submitting the customs declaration form to ensure that the three are completely consistent, so as to avoid blocking the refund process due to inconsistent declaration information.

### Answer 3

The operation of the international logistics link will indirectly affect the identification of refundable tax categories for export tax refund. For example, when goods are exported via China Railway Express, if the logistics service provider fails to provide a compliant CIM consignment note and mark the note with "for export tax refund only", the enterprise cannot prove that the goods have actually departed the country, and the tax authority will judge that the batch of goods does not meet the refund conditions, regardless of whether the corresponding tax category is within the refundable scope.

In addition, if the goods are resold at the transshipment port and the change of logistics route is not filed with the tax authority in time, the tax authority will suspect that the goods have not been actually exported, triggering tax correspondence audit, which will not only suspend the refund, but also may require the enterprise to repay the already refunded tax. Enterprises should confirm that the logistics service provider has the qualification to provide special consignment notes for tax refund before delivery, and submit the filing application through the electronic tax bureau within 3 working days after the change of goods route.

### Answer 4

From the perspective of international tax structure, the scope of refundable tax categories for export tax refund is directly related to the tax identity of the enterprise. Manufacturing export enterprises apply the "exemption, credit and refund" policy, and the refundable tax is the VAT paid in the production link. If the enterprise also produces goods subject to consumption tax and the goods are included in the export consumption tax refund catalog, it can also apply for refund of the paid consumption tax. Trading export enterprises apply the "exemption and refund" policy, and the refundable tax is the VAT paid in the procurement link.

If the purchased goods include consumption tax, the enterprise needs to confirm that the supplier has paid the consumption tax and provided compliant payment vouchers, otherwise it cannot apply for consumption tax refund. In addition, when cross-border e-commerce enterprises export under the 9610 supervision mode, they can apply for VAT refund, but if the goods are small-value retail goods and no procurement invoice is obtained, they can only apply the tax exemption without invoice policy and cannot enjoy tax refund. Enterprises should sort out refundable tax categories according to their own tax identity, and confirm the compliance of tax-related vouchers with suppliers in advance.

### Answer 5

Compliant operation of cross-border foreign exchange receipt and payment is the core evidence for the identification of refundable tax categories for export tax refund. For example, the foreign exchange payment received by the enterprise must match the amount and currency indicated on the customs declaration form and VAT invoice.

If the difference between the foreign exchange receipt amount and the customs declaration amount exceeds 5%, the tax authority will suspect the existence of capital return or falsely issued VAT invoice, and suspend the refund audit, regardless of whether the corresponding tax category is refundable. In addition, if the enterprise uses an offshore account to receive foreign exchange and fails to declare through the foreign exchange monitoring system within 15 working days after receiving the foreign exchange, the tax authority cannot verify the authenticity of the foreign exchange receipt and will directly reject the refund application.

Enterprises should compare the difference between the foreign exchange receipt amount and the customs declaration amount in time after receiving the foreign exchange. If the difference is within a reasonable range, relevant supporting materials (such as commission agreement, discount explanation) should be submitted to the tax authority for filing, so as to ensure the consistency of foreign exchange receipt and payment compliance and the identification of refundable tax categories.

### Answer 6

The terms of international trade contracts will affect the application qualification of refundable tax categories for export tax refund. For example, if the contract stipulates that "the buyer shall bear all taxes and fees", but does not clarify that the VAT and consumption tax paid by the seller are eligible for export tax refund, the enterprise may be unable to prove the rationality of the refund during tax correspondence audit due to vague contract terms, resulting in the rejection of the refund application.

In addition, if the commodity name in the contract is inconsistent with that on the VAT invoice and customs declaration form, even if the goods actually fall into the refundable tax category scope, the tax authority will judge the authenticity of the transaction as doubtful based on the contract terms and trigger in-depth inspection. Enterprises should clearly stipulate in the contract that "the seller has the right to apply for export tax refund for the VAT and consumption tax paid for the exported goods", and at the same time ensure that the commodity name and specification in the contract are completely consistent with those on the customs declaration form and VAT invoice, so as to avoid affecting the refund qualification due to defects in contract terms.

### Answer 7

In export tax refund compliance audit, tax category matching is the core inspection point. The tax authority will verify the authenticity of refundable tax categories through the "consistency of four streams": the goods stream must be consistent with the customs declaration form, the capital stream must be consistent with the foreign exchange receipt voucher, the invoice stream must be consistent with the VAT invoice, and the contract stream must be consistent with the purchase and sales contract.

If any stream is inconsistent with the supporting materials of refundable tax categories, for example, consumption tax is not indicated in the invoice stream but the commodity actually falls into the consumption tax refund scope, the tax authority will judge that the enterprise has missed the refund and require the enterprise to supplement the declaration, but additional supporting materials (such as consumption tax payment voucher, supplier certificate) need to be submitted. Enterprises should conduct internal audit of refund documents every month, focusing on verifying the compliance of VAT invoices and consumption tax payment vouchers, to ensure the consistency of four streams, and avoid refund delay or loss caused by inconsistent documents.

### Answer 8

From the perspective of supply chain structure, the scope of refundable tax categories for export tax refund is directly related to the choice of trade terms. For example, when an enterprise exports under FOB trade terms, the seller bears all taxes and fees (including VAT and consumption tax) before the goods are loaded on board, and the seller can apply for refund of corresponding tax categories. If exporting under CIF trade terms, the seller shall bear freight and insurance premium, but the refundable tax categories still only include VAT and consumption tax, and the taxes corresponding to freight and insurance premium are not eligible for refund.

In addition, if an enterprise adopts the supply chain finance mode to purchase goods, it needs to confirm that the capital flow of the financial institution is not identified as capital return, otherwise the tax authority will doubt the authenticity of the transaction and suspend the refund audit. Enterprises should clarify the tax bearing party corresponding to trade terms during supply chain planning, sort out the corresponding costs of refundable tax categories, and confirm the compliance of capital flow with financial institutions in advance, so as to ensure that the refund application is not affected by the supply chain structure.
