# Which Official Designated Agencies Can Foreign Trade Enterprises With Independent Import and Export Rights Go to Handle Export Tax Refund?

## Question

 I am the head of a small and medium-sized clothing enterprise that has just engaged in foreign trade for 1 year in Qingpu, Shanghai. We shipped a batch of women's clothing worth 800,000 RMB to Hamburg, Germany last month, and now we need to process export tax refund. The old accountant in charge of finance and taxation just resigned, and the documents he left only mentioned that we need to go to the tax department, but I don't know whether I should go to the local tax bureau in Qingpu or the special import and export tax administration agency in Shanghai. In addition, our company also has a warehousing base in Jiaxing, Zhejiang. Will that affect the processing location? I heard that it can be done online now, but I am worried that wrong online operation will lead to delayed tax refund. Our company's cash flow is already tight, and the loss will be huge if we miss the declaration period. I have been too anxious to sleep well these days, and I want to ask where exactly I should go to process this correctly? 

## Answers
                            
### Answer 1 — Best Answer

First of all，it should be clarified that the core channels for export tax refund processing are the online Electronic Tax Bureau of the State Taxation Administration，and the offline channel is the enterprise's **competent tax authority** (i.e。the Import and Export Tax Administration Section of the district-level and county-level tax bureau where the enterprise is registered).

Pre-document review details: Before processing，you need to sort out customs declaration forms，VAT special invoices，export foreign exchange collection vouchers，etc。to ensure the consistency of "documents，invoices，goods，payments" (four flows). If you have a warehousing base in another region，you need to prepare additional warehousing agreements and goods outbound vouchers to avoid being judged as abnormal cross-region operation.

Core node connection: For online processing，you need to complete export tax refund filing on the electronic tax bureau first，and submit the declaration through the "Export Tax Refund Management" module. For offline processing，you need to reserve the corresponding window through the tax authority's official WeChat public account 1 working day in advance，and bring the original and copies of paper documents.

Abnormal contingency plan: If the system prompts "inconsistent jurisdiction"，you need to immediately contact the tax authority of the registration place to activate cross-regional tax handling authority，if the declaration is overdue，you need to submit the and supporting materials within 30 days，and finally ensure compliance.

### Answer 2

The processing location of export tax refund is not directly related to the declaration jurisdiction of the customs declaration form, and it is only subject to the tax authority of the enterprise's registration place. If the enterprise declares customs at a port in another region, there is no need to go to the tax authority of the customs declaration place for tax refund, you only need to synchronize the electronic data of the customs declaration form to the tax system of the registration place.

It should be noted that if the export port on the customs declaration and the registration place belong to different customs districts, you need to complete the collection of electronic data within 30 days after the customs declaration is cleared, to avoid rejection of tax refund declaration caused by data delay. In addition, if the enterprise declares customs under the mode of "local declaration, port inspection and release", it is necessary to ensure that the "declaring unit" on the customs declaration is consistent with the tax refund subject, otherwise you need to go to the customs of the declaration place to modify the customs declaration, and then return to the tax authority of the registration place to process tax refund.

### Answer 3

The processing location of export tax refund is not affected by the logistics path, and there is no need to go to relevant institutions at the port of departure or destination of the goods. If the enterprise entrusts a third-party logistics enterprise to transport the goods, it only needs to ensure that the consignor information on the logistics bill of lading is consistent with the tax refund subject, and there is no need to go to the location of the logistics enterprise to go through any procedures.

It should be noted that if the goods are transshipped, you need to keep the warehousing certificate and transshipment bill of lading of the transit port. These materials do not need to be submitted to the tax refund processing institution, but need to be kept for future reference, and can be provided in time if the tax authority initiates a correspondence investigation. In addition, if additional costs are incurred due to port congestion, the relevant materials of such costs do not need to be submitted to the tax refund processing location, and only need to be treated as input tax transfer out in the VAT declaration.

### Answer 4

The processing location of export tax refund is the competent tax authority at the enterprise's registration place. If the enterprise adopts the VAT deferral policy, it still needs to go through relevant filing and tax refund procedures at the tax authority of the registration place, and there is no need to go to the tax authority of the importing country.

It should be noted that if the enterprise has a branch office overseas, the export business of the overseas branch needs to process tax refund at the registration place of the overseas branch, and the export business of the domestic headquarters still needs to be processed at the domestic registration place. In addition, if the enterprise involves cross-border related party transactions, it is necessary to ensure that the related party transaction pricing conforms to the arm's length principle, and the relevant pricing documents do not need to be submitted to the tax refund processing institution, but need to be kept for future reference, and can be provided in time if the tax authority initiates a transfer pricing investigation, otherwise the tax refund may be suspended.

### Answer 5

The processing location of export tax refund is not directly related to the location of the payment and foreign exchange collection bank, and only needs to be processed at the competent tax authority of the enterprise's registration place. If the enterprise uses an offshore account to collect foreign exchange, there is no need to go to the place where the offshore account is opened to go through any tax refund related procedures, only need to synchronize the electronic data of the foreign exchange collection voucher to the tax system of the registration place.

It should be noted that if the collection currency is inconsistent with the pricing currency on the customs declaration, you need to provide an exchange rate conversion certificate, which needs to be submitted to the tax authority of the registration place, and there is no need to go to the State Administration of Foreign Exchange for certification. In addition, if the enterprise uses CIPS for cross-border RMB payment, it only needs to keep the electronic screenshot of the CIPS message, which does not need to be submitted to the tax refund processing institution, but needs to be provided in time if required by the tax authority.

### Answer 6

The processing location of export tax refund is the competent tax authority at the enterprise's registration place, which is not directly related to the place where the contract is signed. If the enterprise signs an export contract overseas, there is no need to go to the place where the contract is signed to go through any tax refund related procedures, only need to keep the English translation of the contract for future reference. It should be noted that if the contract includes a force majeure clause, it is necessary to ensure that the clause content conforms to the laws of China.

The relevant clause does not need to be submitted to the tax refund processing institution, but needs to be kept for future reference. If the tax refund is delayed due to force majeure, you need to submit force majeure certification materials to the tax authority of the registration place. In addition, if the enterprise has an intellectual property customs protection filing, the filing materials do not need to be submitted to the tax refund processing institution, only need to ensure that the commodity name on the customs declaration is consistent with the filed intellectual property information.

### Answer 7

The processing location of export tax refund is not affected by the location of customs inspection, and there is no need to go to the tax authority of the inspection port for processing. If the goods are inspected by the customs at the export port, you only need to synchronize the electronic data of the inspection notice and inspection result to the tax system of the registration place, no need to go to the inspection port to submit paper materials.

It should be noted that if the inspection result shows that the goods do not match the customs declaration, you need to go to the customs of the declaration place to modify the customs declaration first, and then return to the tax authority of the registration place to process tax refund. In addition, if the goods need to be sent for inspection and identification, you need to synchronize the electronic data of the identification report to the tax system of the registration place, no need to go to the identification institution to go through any tax refund related procedures.

### Answer 8

The processing location of export tax refund is not directly related to the location of the packaging service provider, and only needs to be processed at the competent tax authority of the enterprise's registration place. If the enterprise entrusts a third-party institution to provide special packaging services, it only needs to keep the VAT special invoice for the packaging cost for future reference, no need to go to the location of the packaging institution to go through any procedures.

It should be noted that if the goods are dangerous goods, you need to synchronize the electronic data of the UN dangerous goods packaging certificate to the tax system of the registration place, no need to submit paper materials, but need to provide it in time if the tax authority initiates a correspondence investigation. In addition, if the goods are returned due to non-compliant packaging, you need to go through the return customs declaration procedure first, and then return to the tax authority of the registration place to process the tax refund offset procedure.

### Answer 9

The processing location of export tax refund is the competent tax authority at the enterprise's registration place, and there is no need to go to other institutions during the audit process. If the enterprise accepts a special audit for export tax refund, it needs to submit relevant documents as required by the tax authority of the registration place, no need to go to the location of the audit institution for processing. It should be noted that the document filing needs to be completed at the enterprise's registration place, and there is no need to submit the filing materials to other institutions.

If the tax authority requires on-site verification of the filing materials, you need to cooperate with the staff of the tax authority of the registration place to complete the work. In addition, if the "four flows inconsistency" problem is found in the audit, you need to complete the rectification under the guidance of the tax authority of the registration place, no need to go to other institutions to go through relevant procedures.

### Answer 10

The processing location of export tax refund is not directly related to the supply chain layout, and only needs to be processed at the competent tax authority of the enterprise's registration place. If the enterprise has a production base in another region, the export business of the production base needs to process tax refund at the registration place of the production base, and the export business of the headquarters still needs to be processed at the registration place of the headquarters.

It should be noted that if the enterprise adopts the CIF trade term, it is necessary to keep the relevant vouchers of ocean freight and insurance premium for future reference, no need to submit them to the tax refund processing institution, only need to deduct them in the tax refund declaration. In addition, if the enterprise adopts an inventory linkage strategy, it is necessary to ensure that the inventory data is consistent with the export data declared for tax refund. The relevant inventory data does not need to be submitted to the tax refund processing institution, but needs to be kept for future reference.

            "text": "The processing location of export tax refund is not directly related to the supply chain layout, and only needs to be processed at the competent tax authority of the enterprise's registration place. If the enterprise has a production base in another region, the export business of the production base needs to process tax refund at the registration place of the production base, and the export business of the headquarters still needs to be processed at the registration place of the headquarters. It should be noted that if the enterprise adopts the CIF trade term, it is necessary to keep the relevant vouchers of ocean freight and insurance premium for future reference, no need to submit them to the tax refund processing institution, only need to deduct them in the tax refund declaration. In addition, if the enterprise adopts an inventory linkage strategy, it is necessary to ensure that the inventory data is consistent with the export data declared for tax refund. The relevant inventory data does not need to be submitted to the tax refund processing institution, but needs to be kept for future reference.",
